The Unwinding Cable Car

  • Your motive, unstable
    You're like an unwinding cable car
    Listening for voices
    But it's the choices that make us who we are

    Go your own way, even seasons have changed
    Just burn those new leaves over
    So self-absorbed, you've seemed to ignore the prayers
    That have already come about

    This is the correlation of salvation and love
    Don't drop your arms
    Don't drop your arms, I'll guard your heart
    With quiet words, I'll lead you in

    Backing away from the problem of pain
    You never had a home
    You've been misguided, you're hiding in shadows
    For so very long

    Don't you believe that you've been deceived?
    That you're no better
    Than the hair in your eyes
    It never disguised what you're really thinking of

    This is the correlation of salvation and love
    Don't drop your arms
    Don't drop your arms, I'll guard your heart
    With quiet words, I'll lead you in

    This is the correlation of salvation and love
    Don't drop your arms
    Don't drop your arms, I'll guard your heart
    With quiet words, I'll lead you in

    You're so brilliant, don't soon forget
    You're so brilliant, grace marks your heart
    You're so brilliant, don't soon forget
    You're so brilliant, grace marks your heart

    This is the correlation between salvation and love
    Don't drop your arms
    I'll guard your heart
    With quiet words I'll lead you in and out of the dark

    (Don't drop your arms)

    This is the correlation of salvation and love
    Don't drop your arms
    Don't drop your arms, I'll guard your heart
    With quiet words, I'll lead you in

    This is the correlation of salvation and love
    Don't drop your arms
    Don't drop your arms, I'll guard your heart
    With quiet words, I'll lead you in Writer/s: Deon Rexroat, Joseph Milligan, Nathan Young, Stephen Arnold
