This Open Road

Not so many days ago
Far from home and that was clear
We met a man along the road
They said he never spoke and couldn't hear
"Oh come closer," you said
When you called him out
And left us waiting with that unholy crowd
And we didn't hear a sound

And it was only yesterday
They put a blind man at your feet
Before you opened up his eyes
You took his hand and walked away from me
"Oh look closer," I heard you say
And then again
But from the distance, I could barely see your hands
And I still don't understand

And now you wanna know the name
The people whisper when you're gone
They're saying soldier, prophet, king
They're singing all the oldest songs
"Oh my brother, what do you say?"
You wanna know
And it's just you and me now walking on this open road
We're travelling on

Well I've done all I can to listen
To every word I heard you say
Got my eyes wide open, looking out
For the kingdom and the way
"Oh my saviour," I want to say
But does it show
That I can barely speak the words for all this aching hope?
All this aching hope

Oh my brother, what do you say?
You wanna know
And it's just you and me now
Walking down this open road
