From the recording I Am
Lyrics
Today I fell down
and the rain slowed down
it hurt so hard I thought I surely would drown
It took a long time
for my soul to climb
it swirled to the top and then melted to the ground
and I found
When they throw sand in your eyes
and the wind is so strong
when your heart beats slower than time
and the day is so long
just carry on
I hope you don't mind
if I take my time
faith is in stock and I'm waiting in line
to get mine
You said the right words
to break my curse
You built me strong and now I'm ready for the worst
When they throw sand in your eyes
and the wind is so strong
when your heart beats slower than time
and the day is so long
just carry on
'cause I'm not gonna wait around
to have my face shoved in the ground
I'll walk all over this damn town
wearin' a crown
When they throw sand in your eyes
and the wind is so strong
when your heart beats slower than time
and the day is so long
just carry on
When they throw sand in your eyes
you have to stand tall
‘cause your heart'll beat stronger with time
if your will is strong
Just carry on
