The Bigger Picture



Long before the colors start to bleed

I can see the painting come alive

Clever like an angel in disguise 

Moving in and out of reach 



If the candle lights this crooked path

Like a lighthouse peering through the haze

I will find the river through the rain 

And I’ll reach the water’s edge 



Shed your light on me

Be my eyes when I can’t see 

Shed your light on me 

Be my guide so I can see

The Bigger Picture 



Like a moth burned by the fire 

and driven to the flame 

(Prophecies’ a blessing and a curse) 

I must bare this cross alone

There’s no one else to blame 

With each treasure found

Another shipwreck’s washed ashore

I am carried by the current

On a slow and steady course 



[CHORUS] 



What If caught in a moment 

I get lost and can't find my way

What if all along i was wrong 

In every turn, In every way 



Would you talk me off the ledge 

Or let me take the fall 

Better to try and fail 

then to never try at all 



You look but cannot see

Talk but never speak

You live but cannot breathe

See but don’t believe 



Wounds that never heal

A heart that cannot feel

A dream that’s all too real 

A stare as cold as steel



I’ve listened to the stories of resentment and disdain

I’ve looked into the empty eyes of anger, fear, and shame

I’ve taken blood from every stone 

And traveled every road 



When I see the distant lights illuminate the night

Then I will know I am home
