“Burn in the Rain”

If you’re carrying on your shoulders a weight that’s unbearable these days, here’s a song from Colony House I’d encourage you to listen to. Good stuff.

How many times have I wondered the night
Naming stars like they’re angels in heaven
Praying their light would shine on this child
Who won’t let himself be forgiven
All my life

You’ve got it too your own hell to go through
Your own story to tell when you’re ready
The same blood that’s in me runs in you
I can tell when your spirit is heavy
Lay it down, Let it go

I want you to live forever
Covered in the light of day
Out from underneath the storms that you’ve weathered
Watching as they blow away
I want you to fill your lungs
With liberated oxygen
And should the heartache darken the day
Love is a compass that can point to the pain
And light a fire that will burn in the rain

I’m not lost; neither are you
We’re just feeling our way around
Give yourself grace to renew
Cause you’re walking on holy ground
That’s never been mapped
And stuck in between
The world as it was and forever shall be
Between what we’ve lost and eternity

I want you to live forever
Covered in the light of day
Out from underneath the storms that you’ve weathered
Watching as they blow away
I want you to fill your lungs
With liberated oxygen
And should the heartache darken the day
Love is a compass that can point to the pain
And light a fire that will burn in the rain

Life is a gallery
With frames that hold our memories
White walls filled over time
With love and death and how we tried
To find peace from the other side

And should the heartache darken the day
Love is a compass that can point to the pain
And light a fire that will burn in the rain
