Empires

(album: Empires - 2015)

You say I don't wanna know
That we're taking it all too fast
I'm sure that we'll pull it all together
We'll take this time
And we're making sure that we know it's right
And our time of death
We'll know we've got to be over now

In due time, a better man
Better man, I will be
Oh I'm finding my feet now
And I'm trying to get out
In due time, a better man
Better man, I will be
I'm just trying to get out

So lead my heart and soul
Through the arches of your eyes
And I will be there all the time
Well you say I don't know why
But I've been thinking of you and I know I can't tell you to love
I've been here before

In due time, a better man
Better man, I will be
Oh I'm finding my feet now
And I'm trying to get out
In due time, a better man
Better man, I will be
I'm just trying to get out

You say I've always been a sinner
Well, your heart, it was a church
Took me in let me rest upon your alter
Where your words, they do traverse
Of how I'm trying just to find
A little piece of hope in you
Could you please just tell me stories
Of how you know I'll make it through
And while I sing I'll never get it
Until you open up the gates
Took me in with those arms that are forgiving
Washed away from all this hate
Oh how I'm trying just to find
A little piece of hope in you
Could you please just take me back
To when you took me by the hand

Say hallelujah

Yeah you took me by the hand

Say hallelujah

Yeah you took me by the hand

Say hallelujah

Hallelujah
