There's Not a Step We Can Take That Does Not Bring Us Closer - Jason Webley

And we return to her with thirsty eyes

With history burning between our thighs

With naked longing trembling behind our smiles

We’re going back to touch this hallowed land

We’ve got God in our hearts, we’re holding gifts in our hands

And in that bag there is a loaded gun

This is a loaded gun, I’ve got a

And we return, backs straight, chins high, hair shorn

We’re going back to taste the grain from where our hunger was born

In bodies withered, wrinkled, worn

The framework showing through where the skin is torn

We are army ants, we are worker bees

We are salmon in the stream after years at sea

And this is blind man’s bluff, but we don’t need to see

Because we never miss our targets, no, we can’t miss

And we return to surrender, we return to fight

To keep warm inside her beauty just another night

We’re going to turn back the tape to where the music starts

We’re going to feel the cost of living in our fingers and hearts

We’re going back to the place where the river begins

We going to break until the tears have burned away the sins

We’re want to lose ourselves and learn to make love again

We here to finish what we start, we’re going to rip this all apart

We’re going to press against the sky until we see our mother’s face
