Song of the Week

Inside of You

You say the river’s too far to go,
And the star’s too high to reach;
In the shade it’s much too cold,
And in the sun there’s too much heat.

Ooh, would you say to me
The sky’s too blue, the sea too green;
In the night there’s too much dark,
And too much crying in your sleep?

Chorus:
Inside of you, how deep does the ocean go?
Inside of you, how loud does the lion roar?
Inside of you, do your feet know how to dance?
Inside of you, does heaven ever really have a chance?

You’re telling me the chair’s too soft;
You’re telling me the bed’s too hard.
You would like to cool your fever,
But the water’s just too far.

So you sit staring at the door
Like something’s gonna walk on in;
Tell me what are you waiting for?
Sitting still’s your greatest sin.

Chorus
