Steps of Time
Down in the mission of St. John
They're reeling in the broken ones
Treasures from a time before
Still sending out a distant call
I had to follow when I heard that sound
It hit me like a fever
Still burns a flame in my soul
And it's getting brighter
Yeah, you can light the way
With every word you bring to life
Building the steps of time
Steps of time
Carved out of reason and rhyme
Building the steps of time
From the dawn of ages
Till kingdom come
The spirit of their hearts live on
Stretched across a thousand years
Gonna touch you when it reappears
A dying voice can still be heard
In every word they're singing
Like an arrow in the dirt
Like a bell that keeps on ringing
Yeah, you can light the way
With every word you bring to life
Building the steps of time
Steps of time
Carved out of reason and rhyme
Building the steps of time
Down in the mission of St. John
They're reeling in the broken ones
Gathered under a summer moon
And what they're sayin'
Comes shinin' through
I had to follow when I heard that sound
It hit me like a fever
Still burns a flame in my soul
And it's getting brighter
Yeah, you can light the way
With every word you bring to life
Building the steps of time
Steps of time
Carved out of reason and rhyme
Building the steps of time
