The Violet Burning
One Thousand Years
I've gone down from the mountains looking for a cure
I came across the desert, here to your front door
Rolling with the punches, falling beneath the blows
Fighting through most anything tearing up my soul. I wanna run

I wanna run, I wanna fall into your arms
So, lay my head down, I wanna wake, there in your arms
I needed to forgive you. I needed to throw it down
Into the depths of the sea that forgets these things
Beneath the walls of sound that sing for all us sinners, and sing for all our lives
Wrap this song around our hearts, may it bind us tight
Now, I can barely remember just what we started for. But, I found some grace there in your arms
I'm coming back for more, I'm gonna run

I wanna run, I wanna fall into your arms
So, lay my head down, I wanna wake, there in your arms
I long to view forever through the twinkling of an eye
I long to find a song of hope and lay down by your side
A song for all the weeping, a song for all the tears
I'll sing for you to carry me, I'll sing One Thousand Years, I wanna run

I wanna run, I wanna fall into your arms
So, lay my head down, I wanna wake there, in your arms
Yeah, you're my heart, you're my home
Yeah, you're my heart, you're my home
Yeah, you're my heart, you're my home
Yeah, you're my heart, you're my home
