This Side of Heaven
Closed away
Trapped in a never-ending game
Injurial choices
Uncontrollable voices
Lingering freedoms stripped away
Virtual nightmares on replay
Rising still
The walls of my fortress slowly kill
My hopes and solutions
Exchanged for illusions
Should I try to seek the light
Daring to stumble through the night
Empty promises, broken prayers
Barren dreams like ropes of sand
A war torn heart with unspoken confessions
Is this all to expect this side of heaven
What if there's more
What if my heart can be restored
Into a house full of peace with an open door
Can shame be undone
What if there's someone up above
Filled with an everlasting love
What if there's rest in the arms of the Son
Hopes revived
Now I can focus on the climb
Just one step further
But I know it'll get harder
The coldest hour is yet to come
Full faith that soon I'll see the sun
Empty promises, broken prayers
Barren dreams like ropes of sand
A war torn heart with unspoken confessions
Is this all to expect this side of heaven
What if there's more
What if my heart can be restored
Into a house full of peace with an open door
Can shame be undone
What if there's someone up above
Filled with an everlasting love
What if there's rest in the arms of the Son
There's a tug-of-war on my heart
I can't find a way to block out the screams
There's a crossroad here, there's a choice to make
As my nightmares meet with my dreams
I can see dawn breaking
I can't fight the aching
Coz the battle was yours from the start
So instead of wrestling
I now choose to rest in
My Maker who set me apart
And use faith as my weapon
Put despair second
I know I'll be strengthened
This side of heaven
I know there's more
I know my heart can be restored
Into a house full of peace with an open door
Shame is undone
I know there's someone up above
Filled with an everlasting love
I know there's rest in the arms of the Son
Empty promises, broken prayers
Barren dreams like ropes of sand
A war torn heart with unspoken confessions
Is not all to expect this side of heaven
Trapped in a never-ending game
Injurial choices
Uncontrollable voices
Lingering freedoms stripped away
Virtual nightmares on replay
Rising still
The walls of my fortress slowly kill
My hopes and solutions
Exchanged for illusions
Should I try to seek the light
Daring to stumble through the night
Empty promises, broken prayers
Barren dreams like ropes of sand
A war torn heart with unspoken confessions
Is this all to expect this side of heaven
What if there's more
What if my heart can be restored
Into a house full of peace with an open door
Can shame be undone
What if there's someone up above
Filled with an everlasting love
What if there's rest in the arms of the Son
Hopes revived
Now I can focus on the climb
Just one step further
But I know it'll get harder
The coldest hour is yet to come
Full faith that soon I'll see the sun
Empty promises, broken prayers
Barren dreams like ropes of sand
A war torn heart with unspoken confessions
Is this all to expect this side of heaven
What if there's more
What if my heart can be restored
Into a house full of peace with an open door
Can shame be undone
What if there's someone up above
Filled with an everlasting love
What if there's rest in the arms of the Son
There's a tug-of-war on my heart
I can't find a way to block out the screams
There's a crossroad here, there's a choice to make
As my nightmares meet with my dreams
I can see dawn breaking
I can't fight the aching
Coz the battle was yours from the start
So instead of wrestling

My Maker who set me apart
And use faith as my weapon
Put despair second
I know I'll be strengthened
This side of heaven
I know there's more
I know my heart can be restored
Into a house full of peace with an open door
Shame is undone
I know there's someone up above
Filled with an everlasting love
I know there's rest in the arms of the Son
Empty promises, broken prayers
Barren dreams like ropes of sand
A war torn heart with unspoken confessions
Is not all to expect this side of heaven
