I'm Only Laughing On The Outside

To see elation

Spread across your timeless face

Be proud of me

Proud of what I tried to become

Regardless of our heavy hearts

We’ll carry on we’ll carry on

Regardless of our anxious thoughts

On how we think it might all end

The land is dead

Our backs are bent

Our eyes have turned from gray to red

Still the villages are crying out

What do they have to sing about

Are you gonna be with me

I can hear them singing through the night

Don’t be dancing with the devil

In the pale moonlight

I can see the towns from way up here

The little lights are burning brightly

And getting stronger

The children singing made up songs

But they sound so familiar

The son’s so familiar

How long must we wait

How great thou art

We’ve been looking for connection

Can we all break free from this

The situation the undercurrent

Stop pulling me further and further away

God will not be called dead

He will show himself strong

In due time
