Good friends don't
Let friends drink and drive
The last thing he said to me
Before he drove right out of life

That very moment
I watched him drive away
Haunts me in my memories
Haunts me to this day

With the attitude
Of it can't happen to me
The opened hand of death
Welcomed my friend in tragically

Now I don't know if I should
Be the one to laugh or cry
Because my good friend had offered me
A ride home that night...
For much too long I have buried my head
Buried my head without a word being said
For much too long I have buried my head in the sand

For much too long I have shrugged it all off
Shrugged it all off without counting the cost
For much too long I have shrugged off the needs of the lost

For much too long I have kept my mouth shut
Kept my mouth shut when I should have opened it up
For much too long I have kept my mouth shut on God's love

For much too long will be eternity
Eternity without being set free
For much too long will be eternity for all humanity

For much too long can I have that on my head
That on my head that the truth wasn't said
For much too long can I have that on my head
with both the living and dead

For much too long...
The closer I draw to you Lord
The more I see of myself
The sinful man
I know that I am
Needing you more than life itself

Until I no longer can stand
Falling into your mercy and grace
For it's all that I see
Being all that I need
You above everything else

Not dwelling on countless misfortunes
Rejoicing when trials begin
Knowing inside of the fire
I will be refined
To where I should always have been

Held tightly to your *****
Tucked safely under your wing
Where given the chance
I drop all pretense
And you then are all that I see
underground

is over grown

with lost and found

looking up

and looking down

stepping in

and stepping out

cut the ropes

that keep you bound

to your place

in underground

— The End —
