From the morning when we first began, out from the sands we were searching with our hands. Even when the rising sun will find our feet to stand, you'll hold us stronger than we'll ever hold to you. You took my rib from my side and gave it back alive, you drew from my lungs the song you made to thrive, and you carried me to the edge of the past of times yet you’ll hold stronger than I'll ever hold to you. On that day there will be no shame, and no pain we know now will carry weight. All the world in their languages, in harmony they'll sing, yet you'll hold stronger than we'll ever hold to you. Soon, we'll be one. Oh yeah, we'll be home. Grace is still a mystery to me, but with it we will plunge into tomorrow's sea. This mystery is sweeter than we will ever see, yet you'll hold stronger than we'll ever hold to you. Earth has never been our place to stay and we're already sailing home today. When you wake for the storm, I'll hold her hand on the way, yeah you'll hold stronger than we'll ever hold to you. In my choices, I have listened to the liar's voices and from true love I'm bent to turn away. Safe and sound when the Saviour found me, I can't help but turn around 'cause you hold stronger than I'll ever hold to you. Soon, we'll be one. Oh yeah, we'll be home. Soon, we'll be one. Oh my love, we'll be home. Oh, we'll be home.
I've been watching this band and their head writer, Jillian, since around 2010. Quirky melodies up there with Fiona and Regina. Piano pop at its finest. Brandon Wadley
