Break Through and Shine by Eric Dahl Lyrics

There’s a lotta nowhere out there
She had compassion for the worst and the least
In a town without a doctor
Without a future, without a priest
Words she said came alive in my head
Like holy wine
“You’re gonna break through, break through
Break through and shine.”

She gave me shelter
And I never had to explain
How a stray bolt of lightning
Left me face down in the rain
Words she said came alive in my head
Like fortified wine

“You’rе gonna break through, break through
Break through and shinе.”

When I go back in time
To say the things I meant to say
She tells me, “Get on your way.”
And if you don’t know where you’re headed
Maybe you should try a prayer
To whatever’s out there in that unknown land
Where miracles appear
I saw her carrying a round loaf
Of bread in a biblical episode
Her shoes were anointed with oil
Black like the unpaved road
She said, “You look good tonight
But you still shake and burn
Why can’t you just get it right
And start taking your turn.”
Pressure shifting, something’s gonna change
Warm wind lifting clouds off the open range
Shaft of rays cuts through haze where emotions combine

You’re gonna break through, break through
Break through and shine

There’s a lotta nowhere out here
