The Distant Light by This Glass Embrace Lyrics
[Verse 1: Jackie LeFevers]
There must be an end, but from here I can’t see it
And I’m sorry, for all that it’s worth, but I am worth more than this
I am better than this
[Verse 2: Matt LeFevers]
I know there is light, but my God, I just can’t seem to reach it
Beneath the weight of these failings my back is beginning to bow
Don’t turn yours on me now
[Pre-Chorus: Zoey LeFevers]
This is not what it seems
You are more than you think
[Chorus: Matt LeFevers and Jackie LeFevers]
Brother, I’m lost, and sinking down
A voice crying out, an echo without a sound
Father, I’m far from home and from heart
And my only hope is that hope is enough
[Verse 3: Jackie LeFevers]
There will be a dawn, but this dark is more pressing
You can detail my weakness
But you preach to the choir with each word
Yes, I’ve heard this before
[Verse 4: Matt LeFevers and Zoey LeFevers]
I'm far from disowned but I’ve never felt further from safety
How could this be the moment you’ve chosen to leave me alone?
How dare you let go?
[Pre-Chorus: Zoey LeFevers]
This is not what it seems
You are more than you think
[Chorus: Matt LeFevers and Jackie LeFevers]
Brother, I’m lost, and sinking down
A voice crying out, an echo without a sound
Father, I’m far from home and from heart
And my only hope is that hope is enough
[Bridge: Matt LeFevers and Zoey LeFevers]
If none of this meant anything to anyone but me
Then isn’t that the same as meaning absolutely nothing?
If all you want is victory
Then take your pound of flesh and leave
I already gave up everything
What else can you demand from me?
[Chorus: Matt LeFevers and Jackie LeFevers]
Brother, I’m lost, and sinking down
A voice crying out, an echo without a sound
Father, I’m far from home and from heart
And my only hope is that hope is enough
[Outro: Matt LeFevers]
And we are no one’s keepers, you and I
The truth is we can barely keep ourselves in line
We may be broken but keep watch and hold out hope
Past the horizon line there dawns a distant light
There must be an end, but from here I can’t see it
And I’m sorry, for all that it’s worth, but I am worth more than this
I am better than this
[Verse 2: Matt LeFevers]
I know there is light, but my God, I just can’t seem to reach it
Beneath the weight of these failings my back is beginning to bow
Don’t turn yours on me now
[Pre-Chorus: Zoey LeFevers]
This is not what it seems
You are more than you think
[Chorus: Matt LeFevers and Jackie LeFevers]
Brother, I’m lost, and sinking down
A voice crying out, an echo without a sound
Father, I’m far from home and from heart
And my only hope is that hope is enough
[Verse 3: Jackie LeFevers]
There will be a dawn, but this dark is more pressing
You can detail my weakness
But you preach to the choir with each word
Yes, I’ve heard this before
[Verse 4: Matt LeFevers and Zoey LeFevers]
I'm far from disowned but I’ve never felt further from safety
How could this be the moment you’ve chosen to leave me alone?
How dare you let go?
[Pre-Chorus: Zoey LeFevers]
This is not what it seems
You are more than you think
[Chorus: Matt LeFevers and Jackie LeFevers]
Brother, I’m lost, and sinking down
A voice crying out, an echo without a sound
Father, I’m far from home and from heart
And my only hope is that hope is enough
[Bridge: Matt LeFevers and Zoey LeFevers]
If none of this meant anything to anyone but me
Then isn’t that the same as meaning absolutely nothing?
If all you want is victory

And we are no one’s keepers, you and I
The truth is we can barely keep ourselves in line
We may be broken but keep watch and hold out hope
Past the horizon line there dawns a distant light
