From These Heights

We tried too hard to sail our seas
In a convoy of perfect formation
And as the flags came down, we saw ourselves
As a union without affiliation

We never meant to test our strength
But the weight on our shoulders got unbearable
So the world collapsed as it broke our backs
And we slowly moved toward a life more credible, oh oh

As the sun went down on everything we believed
We only lost our light
As our eyes adjusted to the world we refused to see
All became clear from these heights

Like a great divide we're overwhelmed
By the overbearing size of this emptiness
But there must be ground for us to gain
Cause vacancy in space grows so envious, oh oh

As the sun went down on everything we believed
We only lost our light
As our eyes adjusted to the world we refused to see
All became clear from these heights
From these heights

With legs of oak and feet of clay
We're strong in stance but weak in our construction
We're grounded on paper
Folding in on a world that's more reluctant
Founded on labour
Breaking ground off the breaking backs of grace
Surrounded by saviours
Closing in on the place we found our faith
We found our faith
We found our faith
We found our faith

As the sun went down on everything we believed
We only lost our light, you know
As our eyes adjusted to the world we refused to see
All became clear
All became clear from these heights
From these heights
