lyrics

There were days of obligation
there were nights of discontent
there were days of obligation
there were nights of discontent
You woke up with light in your eyes
but you don't know where it went

You were getting by on skin and teeth
you were dangling by a strand
you were getting by on skin and teeth
you were dangling by a strand
finding ways to build a life
in a house that's made on sand

Show me the road that I must travel
for you to receive my heart
show me the way that I must follow
for you to relieve my heart

Every Sunday morning
they're speaking in tongues
every Sunday morning
they're speaking in tongues
walking in the spirit
and the spirit fills their lungs

Show me the road that I must travel
for you to receive my heart
show me the way that I must follow
for you to relieve my heart

There were days of obligation
there were nights of discontent
there were days of obligation
there were nights of discontent
there were days
there were days . . .
