Now the Changes - Sanctuary Lyrics

Love, don't desert us now
We've stumbled
Fallen to the ground

Faith, won't you come aboard
I promise you I've labored
Labored
But I've spent my store

Now tell me do you believe
In some god above, so high
A mighty god of power
Power
Or a god of love?
A god, a god of

When all else fails
Reach toward each other
Form a circle against the dark
Instinct prevails upon us
Sisters and brothers
Though we hold ourselves apart

Out of the night
Comes the iron hand
The iron hand of power
Terror
Sanctioned by command
The iron hand

And so we run, run, run into the dark

We head toward the light, the hope, the face we know
The howling voices drive us through the night, the dawn
Our strength returns
We run toward the open arms of love

Give me sanctuary
A chance to coax our dreams back into life
The space and time to breathe, reprieve

Hand over hand, aiming higher
We climb toward compassion
Along the contours of the heart
The world expands
Feeling and action follow
As we reach for what we are

Rise, rise, rise

Rise, rise, rise
If you're willing, humble, courageous, stubborn
Or you've seen what we'll become

Rise, rise
