there's a way i cannot see.

lyrics to live by... from the mind of sara groves.

the long defeat.

I have joined the long defeat
that falling set in motion
all my strength and energy are raindrops in the ocean
so conditioned for the win to share in victor's stories
but in the place of ambition's din I've heard of other glories

I pray for an idea and a way I cannot see
It's too heavy to carry and impossible to leave

I can't just fight when I think I'll win that's the end of all belief
and nothing has provoked it more than a possible defeat

I pray for an idea and a way I cannot see
It's too heavy to carry and impossible to leave

We walk a while we sit and rest
we lay it on the altar
I won't pretend to know what's next but what I have I've offered

I pray for a vision and a way I cannot see
It's too heavy to carry and impossible to leave

I pray for inspiration and a way I cannot see
It's too heavy to carry and impossible to leave.
