The Long Defeat Lyrics
I have joined the long defeat
that falling set in motion
and all my strength and energy
are raindrops in the ocean
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e56966-sara_groves~the_long_defeat_lyrics.html ]
so conditioned for the win
to share in victor's stories
but in the place of ambition's din
I have heard of other glories
and I pray for an idea
and a way i cannot see
it's too heavy to carry
and impossible to leave
I can't just fight when I think I'll win
that's the end of all belief
and nothing has provoked it more
than a possible defeat
chorus
we walk a while we sit and rest
we lay it on the altar
I won't pretend to know what's next
but what I have I've offered
and I pray for a vision
and a way I cannot see
it's too heavy to carry
and impossible to leave
and I pray for inspiration
and a way I cannot see
it's too heavy to carry
and impossible to leave
it's too heavy to carry
and I will never leave
