On The Divide - Bebo Norman

The sky was the color of morning 
And the mountains surrounded 
The ground as our bed. 
The Spirit would rise without warning 
Just to burn like the sun 
That would soon warm our hands. 

And the world was three days behind us, 
And the world was three days ahead. 
But for now no one could find us 
In the wilderness. 

Only bound by the burdens we brought, 
But we were slowly releasing them 
Along the way. 
Pride was the battle we fought 
Until we opened our eyes 
To the Light of that day 

The past towered before us, 
But we could see the top of the trail. 
So we climbed with strength we're not born with 
And we were rising... 

We stood on that mountain, 
We turned to the sky. 
With trembling inside, 
We lifted our eyes 
And pulling us higher... 
Was something Divine 
That gave us that time 
On the Divide. 
It was something Divine 
That gave us that time 
On the Divide. 

So we turned from our view at the top 
With a vision so clear 
And the sun in our face. 
And back to the valley we walked 
Knowing everything good 
Has its time and its place. 

New life was brning inside us 
Still it hurt turning to home. 
But the same Spirit would guide us 
That we had seen when... 

We stood on that mountain, 
We turned to the sky. 
With trembling inside, 
We lifted our eyes 
And pulling us higher... 
Was something Divine 
That gave us that time 
On the Divide. 
It was something Divine 
That gave us that time 
On the Divide.
