For King & Country - Run Wild. Live Free. Love Strong. Album Lyrics

---

Run Wild

Are the walls to lock you in or to keep others away
And if the doors were to be opened would you leave or would you stay

The comfort of your misery you cherish dearly, you cherish dearly
And you haven't started dreaming 'cause you're still fast asleep, you're fast asleep


But don't you want to
Run wild, live free
Love strong, you and me

You're a lion full of power who forgot how to roar
You're an eagle full of beauty but you can't seem to soar

Will you return to the garden where we were first made whole
Will you turn to the one who can liberate your soul

But don't you want to
Run wild, live free
Love strong, you and me
Run wild, live free
Love strong

[Chorus:]
To every soul locked in a cage
In the prison of your past mistakes
No, there's no time left to waste
Yeah, you can make your great escape
We're made to run wild, run wild, run wild
We're made to run wild, run wild, run wild

[Rap:]
Run forest, all depends what direction
Some people run from fear, some from their own reflection
Some people run their mouth, some people run their house
Ruling with the heart of a tyrant
Some people run their block, bust shot with a 4-4-5 and
That's the environment, how we were raised
Living like lions but trapped in a cage
Back to a mine gold day with the blood of a king but the heart of a slave
Don't you wanna run

Run wild, live free
Love strong, you and me
Run wild, live free
Love strong

[Chorus]

We're made to run wild, run wild, run wild
We're made to run wild, run wild, run wild

If your soul's locked in a cage
You can make a great escape
We're made to run wild, live free
Love strong, you and me

Prelude (Fix My Eyes)

Fix my eyes...

---

Fix My Eyes

Hit rewind
Click delete
Stand face to face with the younger me
All of the mistakes
All of the heartbreak
Here's what I'd do differently

I'd love like I'm not scared
Give when it's not fair
Live life for another
Take time for a brother
Fight for the weak ones
Speak out for freedom
Find faith in the battle
Stand tall but above it all
Fix my eyes on you

I learned the lines and talked the talk (everybody knows that, everybody knows that)
But the road less traveled is hard to walk (everybody knows that, everybody knows)
It takes a soldier
Who knows his orders
To walk the walk I'm supposed to walk

And love like I'm not scared
Give when it's not fair
Live life for another
Take time for a brother
Fight for the weak ones
Speak out for freedom
Find faith in the battle
Stand tall but above it all
Fix my eyes on you

The things of Earth are dimming
In the light of Your glory and grace
I'll set my sights upon Heaven
I'm fixing my eyes on you
I'm fixing my eyes on you
I'm fixing my eyes

Love like I'm not scared
Give when it's not fair
Live life for another
Take time for a brother
Fight for the weak ones
Speak out for freedom
Find faith in the battle
Stand tall but above it all
Fix my eyes on you
I fix my eyes on you
I fix my eyes on you

To The Dreamers

We're beat up but won't be broken
Lonesome but always searching
Homesick but nobody's heading home soon
Keep on, keeping on, keeping on

Long days and too many short nights
And wrong ways that almost felt right
Lovesick but nobody's holding you
Keep on, keeping on, keeping on
So sing along, sing along, sing along... Yeah

[Chorus:]
To the dreamers
Wide-eyed believers
Hanging onto hope by a thread
To the soulful
Heart open hopeful
Keep on charging ahead
'Cause, when you feel it, once you see it, and you breathe it
It's unforgettable
When you know it, once you know it, and you hold it
It's unforgettable

God knows you question your courage
And some days I can't walk for stumbling
If we could only see what we're becoming

Keep on, keeping on, keeping on
So sing along, sing along, sing along... Yeah

[Chorus]

When you feel it, once you see it
It's unforgettable
When you know it, once you know it, and you hold it
It's unforgettable

I was wondering and I was wandering
So down and out, I was lost not found
History said, oh someone said, that you could never exist
But then a whisper, the start of a kiss
Came to me in all of a sudden like a dream, a fantasy
That day didn't feel quite real
You took a half dead soul and You made me believe
I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe

To the dreamers
Wide-eyed believers
Hanging onto hope by a thread
To the soulful
Heart open hopeful
Keep on charging ahead

[Chorus]

Shoulders

When confusion's my companion
And despair holds me for ransom
I will feel no fear
I know that You are near

When I'm caught deep in the valley
With chaos for my company
I'll find my comfort here
'Cause I know that You are near

[Chorus:]
My help comes from You
You're right here, pulling me through
You carry my weakness, my sickness, my brokenness all on Your shoulders
Your shoulders
My help comes from You
You are my rest, my rescue
I don't have to see to believe that You're lifting me up on Your shoulders
Your shoulders

You mend what once was shattered
And You turn my tears to laughter
Your forgiveness is my fortress
Oh Your mercy is relentless

[Chorus]

My help is from You
Don't have to see it to believe it
My help is from you
Don't have to see it, 'cause I know, 'cause I know it's true

[Chorus]

My help is from You
Don't have to see it to believe it
My help is from you
Don't have to see it, 'cause I know, 'cause I know it's true

No Turning Back

I used to be a beggar
Down on calloused knees
Til I got an invitation
Into the courts of the King

I'm movin' on, I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on, keep moving
I'm movin' on, I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on

You gave me my freedom
Now I'm free indeed

[Chorus:]
I'm marching out of the doubt into trust
Out of the me into us
No turning back, no turning back
No turning back
I'm falling head over heels into love
Leaving regret in the dust
No turning back, no turning back
No turning

No turning back, no

And If I'm caught in the crossfire
I will stand my ground
And even if I were to lose my life
Your arms are where I'll be found

[Chorus]

No turning back, oh, oh no

I used to be a beggar
Now I'm free indeed

Out of the doubt into trust
Out of the me into us
No turning back, no turning back
No turning

[Chorus]

No turning back, oh, oh no

No turning back, no turning back
No turning back, no turning back

Without You

What do you do when you don't get better
Strong arms get to, get to weak to hold her
Oh God give me and just enough strength to make it through
Sleepless this madness is walking me out to the ledge
And stands there beside me shriving out on the edge
Oh God all I, all I ask is a little relief
Just a moment of peace

I don't want to live without you
I'm not ready to live without you
So let's dance a little
Laugh a little
Hope a little more
Cause I don't want to live without you, without you

This thorn in my side
Though it cuts and stings me
As opens these eyes
I've never seen so clearly
And oh God I thank you
Cause you bring me to my knees
Back on my knees

I don't want to live without you
I'm not ready to live without you
So let's dance a little
Laugh a little
And hope a little more
Yes let us dance a little
Laugh a little
And hope a little more
Cause I don't want to live without you, without you

I heard a voice from the other side
Singing "hold fast, love last"
As winter turns into summertime
Singing "hold fast, love last"
Heard another voice from the other side
Singing "hold fast, love last"
As winter turns into summertime
Singing "hold fast"

So let's dance a little
Laugh a little
And hope a little more
Yes let's dance a little
Laugh a little
And hope a little more
Cause I don't want to live without you
No, I don't want to live without you
Without you

Long Live

If you're playing that drum but you got no rhythm
If you're a little out of key but you're always singing

If you're so carefree but so not careless
Such a wreck, but ain't love wreck-less
If you're listening I hope you hear this

[Chorus:]
Long live the young at heart
You know who you are
With your spirit burning
Take a risk and take a chance
Carry on
Long live the soul set free
Don't be afraid to dream
While the world's still turning
Every moment, make it happen
With two left feet
Keep on dancing

Beat by beat
Breath by breath
Walking hand in hand
Step by step

With drop of faith and childlike wonder
You can weather the lighting, you can brave the thunder

No road map, but keep on running
No parachute, but keep on jumping
Oh, I think you might be onto something

[Chorus]

Beat by beat
Breath by breath
Walking hand in hand
Step by step
Here and now
Day by day
Won't let this memory slip away

[Chorus]

Every moment, make it happen
With two left feet
Keep on dancing

Beat by beat
Breath by breath
Walking hand in hand
Step by step

Steady

You're my true north when I'm headed south
My constant solid ground
You are my lantern in the night

When I'm twisted up and shaken
You're the one I put my faith in
Yeah, you're the reason I survive

[Chorus:]
You keep me steady when the sky is falling
And I'll keep steady after You
I'll carry on when my strength is failing
Take heart 'cause You're with me
So let the sun stop, stars drop, whatever comes
I'll be ready, You keep me steady
You keep me steady

You're a river, You cover me
When the bombs fall, You're the cavalry
Somehow You're always standing right by my side

So no matter what I will be facing
I will not be over-taken
And You are the only reason why

[Chorus]

You're my hiding place, my home
And fear cannot invade these four walls
I need You near, I need You here

[Chorus]

You keep me steady
You keep me steady

Already Home

Walking through a wasteland
You better keep your head down
Oh, you never raise your eyes
Oh, you never realize

Between the moon rise and the sunset
The answer's out there somewhere
If we were only listening
If we were only listening
The skies would sing

[Chorus:]
You don't have to be broken
To see there's magic in a shooting star
When you're lost and you're lonesome
Let the heavens show you who you are
Look up and you'll know
That you are already home
Already home

There's something in me calling
Across the rocks without water
It's telling me to hurry back
Oh, you better hurry back

To where the moonrise meets the sunset
You'll know it when you find it
Now that you are listening
Now you're really listening
The skies will sing

[Chorus 2:]
You don't have to be broken
To see there's magic in a shooting star
When you're lost and you're lonesome
Let the heavens show you who you are
Look up and you'll know
That you are already home
Look up and you'll know
That you are already home
Already home

Up into the sky without a single fear
As everything that held me down disappears
Higher and higher and higher
I'm ten miles tall
I see it all

Look up and you'll know
You are already home
Look up and you'll know
You are already home
Look up and you'll know
You are already home
Won't you look up into the sky
And see that you're already
That you're already home
That you're already home
Look up into the heavens
And won't you see that you are
And won't you see that you are
You are already home
Already home

This Is Love

It was like a movie
When I first met you
The moment moved me
I still remember
Your soul of beauty
It stole me away, away

Richer or poorer
Better or worse
Could we be together
Could we make it work
If love is patient
And if love is kind
Oh God, give me a sign

[Chorus:]
You've got me thinking
This is love, this is love, this is love that I'm feeling
This is love, this is love, this is love I believe it
I'll kiss you only
Darling, I promise
To hold you gently
And still be the strongest
I'm yours completely
No matter what comes our way
I'll love you til the end of my days
Til the end of my days

Could've never imagined
We'd find each other
A classic romantic
Of unlikely lovers
Some kind of magic
How two can turn into one, to one

For rich or poor
Better or worse
We'll be together
Yeah, we'll make it work
Love is patient
I know love is kind
Thank God I saw the sign

[Chorus]

Till the end of my days
Till the end of my days

Run, run, run, run with me
As one, one, one, we will dream
Of a beautiful love mystery
So run, run, run, run with me

[Chorus]

Till the end of my days
Till the end of my days

Till the end our days
I'll love you til the end of our days
Till the end of our days

Matter

All of the dreams that haven't come true
And all of the hurt that happened to you
It matters, I hope you know it matters

You felt the pain of a bitter defeat
Where the weight of the grief is more bitter than sweet
It matters, I'm telling you it matters

[Chorus:]
To the one who spoke and set the sun ablaze
To the one who stopped the storm and walked the waves
To the one who took the tree so He could say
You matter, I hope you know you matter

I know it's not easy, not saying it's fair
But close as a prayer somebody cares
You're a treasure, don't you know you're treasured

So hold your head high, wait for the dawn
Keep hanging on, your sadness will turn into laughter
Watch it turn into laughter, yeah

[Chorus]

You matter, heaven knows you matter

Let the water spill from your eyes
Let it wash the wounds of those lies
Oh, let the water spill from your eyes
All that you are, all that you'll be
Someone put the beat in your heart so that you'll see
You matter

[Chorus]

You matter, heaven knows you matter
You matter, I hope you know you matter
You matter, heaven knows you matter

It's Not Over Yet

They are inside your head
You got a voice that says
You won't get past this one
You won't win your freedom

It's like a constant war
And you want to settle that score
But you're bruised and beaten
And you feel defeated

This goes out to the heaviest heart

[Chorus:]
Oh, to everyone who's hit their limit
It's not over yet
It's not over ye-et
And even when you think you're finished
It's not over yet
It's not over ye-et

Keep on fighting
Out of the dark
Into the light
It's not over
Hope is rising
Never give in
Never give up
It's not over

Yea-et-et, woah
Yea-et-et, woah

Oh, game set match
It's time to put it in your past, oh
Feel the winter leavin'
It's redemption season
Long live the young at heart (Here we are)
Cheers to a brand new start (Here we are)
We're revived and breathing
To live a life of freedom

[Chorus:]
Oh, to everyone who's hit their limit
It's not over yet
It's not over ye-et
And even when you think you're finished
It's not over yet
It's not over ye-et

Life is a race we run
So run till the race is won
Don't you ever give up (Here we are)
Oh no never give up (Here we are)
Life is a race we run
So run till the race is won
Don't you ever give up (Here we are)
We will never give up (Here we are)

[Chorus:]
Oh, to everyone who's hit their limit
And even when you think you're finished
It's not over yet
Oh, to everyone who's hit their limit
It's not over yet
It's not over ye-et
And even when you think you're finished
It's not over yet
It's not over ye-et

Keep on fighting
Out of the dark
Into the light
It's not over
Hope is rising
Never give in
Never give up
It's not over

Yea-et-et, woah
Yea-et-et, woah
Yea-et-et, woah
Yea-et-et, woah

O God Forgive Us

We've prayed the prayer with no reply
Words float off into the night
Couldn't cut our doubt with the sharpest knife
Oh, oh God forgive us

Silence isn't comfortable
We want drive through peace and instant hope
Our shallow faith it has left us broke

[Chorus:]
Oh, oh God forgive us
Oh, oh God forgive us
Enslaved to our uncertainty
Help us with our unbelief
Oh God forgive us

Young and old, black and white
We're rich and poor, there's no divide
Hear the mighty, hear the powerless, singing

[Chorus]

With our white flag sailing in the night
Eyes pointed to the sky
Hands up and open wide, open wide

Oh, oh God forgive us
Enslaved to our uncertainty
Help us with our unbelief
Oh God forgive us
