Westerly

When your journey began you were right for the world
You were standing on top and everything sounded good
But then the world turned for the worse and you couldn't believe
All the things that were said and everything that you've seen
Now your compass is broke and all you have is your Word
But the pages are torn and words misunderstood
But there you still stand a solid relic of love
Which the masses call hate and the faithful buried in mud

Still you plow down this road without concern for yourself
But the people you love and their emotional health
While global virtues decline you find yourself all alone
With your Word in hand and only comfort at home
A much needed embrace keeps your mind at peace
While the people outside continually scream
They're calling out for your head because you believe
And won't sacrifice faith for their impossible dream

The voices in your head are pleading with you to go
But you won't go all alone
Pack up your family and head out on the road
Cause you won't go all alone
Past the picket lines and riots as they explode
With your Love all alone
Headed the direction the Westerly winds have shown
With your Word all alone

When your journey began you were right for the world
You were standing on top and everything sounded good
But now the world's going down and you cannot believe
Anything that you hear or anything that you see
With your family in tow you escape to the west
Where the sun sets and you'll eventually rest
While the future is bleak you keep that love in your heart
As the curtain falls down and the world falls apart
