How Long

(album: The River - 2016)

There are days when I feel like running
Already down, but the hits keep coming

I reach out; will You reach back at me?
I fall down; will You come and catch me?
Is there an end to the line I'm walking on?

How long? How long?
Will You stand with me forever, through a distance we can't measure?
How long? How long?
'Til the sun burns out and the wind stops
'Til the world quits spinning and the lights go off?
Ohh, and the lights go off
Ohh

I never really trusted 'til I trusted You (yeah)
I never saw the truth until I saw what's true ('til I saw You)

I reach out and You reach back at me
I fall down and You're right there to catch me
There's no end to the line I'm walking on, ohh

How long? How long?
Will You stand with me forever, through a distance we can't measure?
How long? How long?
'Til the sun burns out and the wind stops?
'Til the world quits spinning and the lights go off?
Ohh, and the lights go off
Ohh, and the lights go off
Ohh, and the lights go off
Ohh

We are souls beyond the grave, keeping light that never fades
Though it's hard, we hold on
We are souls beyond the grave, keeping light that never fades
Though it's hard, we hold on

How long? How long?
Will You stand with me forever, through a distance we can't measure?
How long? How long?
'Til the sun burns out and the wind stops?
'Til the world quits spinning and the lights go off?
