Hymn for Job
03:23

Closing out the day
With a song I heard you play
The melody won't let me be
Time to face the dark
The quiet and the stark
The pictures I don't want to see
Got a half-tank roving heart
There's a devil that will pull us apart
Lion trudging land and serpent waiting in the sea
Floating in a dream
We've pulled apart the seams
That were fraying in a darkened heart
Wading in the sea in the
Shores of Galilee
I don't want to play a martyr's part
I know that I'm on borrowed time
I'm the end of the family line
Everything I have disappears like a light in the dark
My foundation's built on shifting sand
I might not make it to the promised land
But this is what I chose so this is how I'll spend my time
When the oceans rise
The film over our eyes
Strike the ground to make the oil run
Ending of the times
A blaze up in the sky
The hourglass upon the sun
They try to take away all I have
I never know if I will get it back
But this is what I chose so this is how the deal is done
I'm a family man
Working with my hands
Trying to make an honest wage
Kids are coming home
I'm staring at my phone
It's kinda making me go insane
I've gotta get across town by 5
Try to bust it to the finish line
Closing out the job and somehow make it out alive
Turning off the light
Redemption someday will be mine
