The Great Divide Lyrics

Deep is the longing in the heart
that ever strives
the expanses far and wide
that still confine
The simple facts that yet
Lay waiting to be found
As lost as some forgotten
promised land

Consider reasons
Through long goodbyes
Looking back for one last time

Just for a second
Look into your heart
As you stand and look
Across the great divide

Remember all the things
that you will leave behind
As you set out to cross
The vast and great divide
Guard and defend
When forces hinder and collide
Solemn intentions
Both blessed and divine

You still pull victory
From shattered hope
Count your doubts with broken smiles
Covered your hurt in your pride

No need for reasons
None to confide
Look back and bid farewell
For one last time
Just for a second
Look into your heart
As you stand and look
Across the great divide

Remember all the things
that you will leave behind
As you set out to cross
The vast and great divide

Just for a second
Look into my eyes
As you stand and look across
The great divide

As you let go of tears
for what you leave behind
While looking back again
To say farewell for one last time
