lyrics

There’s a road leads south from Boise
Driving down into the quiet
On the night before the time change
Let us sit out here awake
And start a fire in the canyon
Break the silence with a song
Ain’t the beauty of the land strange?
Can you feel enough to make?

Brother, are you satisfied?
Brother, soak the glory in, oh
Pain will come, will kill our pride
So bless the struggle once again

Are we all just at the mercy of our Maker?
In the ark or in the flood zone
Or the canyon
Where the river cut a path
Oh, may we all be at the mercy of our Maker
In the throne room
If the canyon is the flood zone
Or if he spares us all his wrath

Sit with me, brother, at the water’s edge
The angel will come to trouble it again
He’ll see through my fine speech and know that I’m a wretch
He’ll see through my good deeds to my endeavor’s sin

But when the angel came
He ordered me away
“The healing waters are not for you
Go lie down with the lame
And to the broken say:
‘The healing waters are all for you.’”

Brother, don’t be satisfied
Brother, soak the glory in, oh
God has come to kill our pride
So bless the struggle once again
