  • You've fallen once, you'll fall again
    And lean on
    Your tired hands that crawl and grasp
    The soft ground
    By the look on your face
    You set out on a path
    Never to arrive
    By the look on your face
    The burden's on your back
    And the sun is in your eyes

    Stretched out, far and wide
    The light that scorched the sand
    So bright, so long
    I'm never coming back

    And every stone and every step
    I won't recall
    Emptied out of every thought
    Just soft ground
    By the look on your face
    The burden's on your back
    And the sun in your eyes

    Gone at last
    Stretched out, far and wide
    The light that scorched the sand
    So bright, so long
    I'm never coming back

    It overflows, it overflows, it always runs
    It overflows, it overflows, it always runs
    Silver and silent
    Endless abundance overflows

    Silver and silent rushing on
    Endless abundance overflows
    Always surround you, always glows
    Oh

    Look on your face,
    Burden's on your back
    Sun is in your eyes

    Stretched out, far and wide
    The light that scorched the sand
    So bright, so long
    I'm never coming back
    So bright, so long
    I'm never coming back Writer/s: Christopher M. Taylor, Christopher Robert Bear, Daniel Raphael Rossen, Edward Droste
