Lyrics
Rumors of Glory March \04
See the streets of hopelessness/ see the streets of despair/ I look into the mirror these days
I'm not even there/ a life stolen away by a thief in the night/ leaving me no reason
leaving no way to fight/ I look out my window at the world outside/ I'm locked up inside
these four walls, just a shadow of what - could have been/ death couldn't keep You but it
tries to keep me/ throwing sand in my eyes till I can no longer see.
Chorus: I'm just waiting by Your table/ such a lonely place to be
Where's this feast You've prepared for me, I've been waiting here so long...
See the streets of hopelessness, lanterns gone out/ innocent victims in this Russian
roulette/ dreams taken and scattered, like dust they blow away
I'm just waiting by Your table/ for the scraps to fall/
Where's this feast You've prepared for me? I've been waiting here so long
I've heard rumors of glory, coming across the sea/ how You've made the lame to walk again,
how You've made blind eyes to see/ those living in darkness were finally set free/ how
long will it take You... before You show Your face to me?
I'm still locked up inside, inside of myself, but I feel Your love so strong/ these four walls they
still keep me in but they can't keep You out/ I'm an island alone, alone in the sea
but now I'm looking into Your eyes, and You're looking back at me.....
I hear rumors of glory, coming across the sea, how You've made the lame to walk again,
You've made blind eyes to see......
