One Thousand Years Songtext
von The Violet Burning

I′ve gone down from the mountains looking for a cure.
I came across the desert, here to your front door.
Rolling with the punches, falling beneath the blows,
Fighting through most anything tearing up my soul. I wanna run.


I wanna run, I wanna fall into your arms.
So, lay my head down, I wanna wake, there in your arms.
I needed to forgive you. I needed to throw it down.
Into the depths of the sea that forgets these things,
Beneath the walls of sound that sing for all us sinners, and sing for all our lives.
Wrap this song around our hearts, may it bind us tight.
Now, I can barely remember just what we started for. But, I found some grace there in your arms,
I'm coming back for more, I′m gonna run.

I wanna run, I wanna fall into your arms.
So, lay my head down, I wanna wake, there in your arms.
I long to view forever through the twinkling of an eye.
I long to find a song of hope and lay down by your side.
A song for all the weeping, a song for all the tears.
I'll sing for you to carry me, I'll sing One Thousand Years, I wanna run.


I wanna run, I wanna fall into your arms.
So, lay my head down, I wanna wake there, in your arms.
Yeah, you′re my heart, you′re my home
Yeah, you're my heart, you′re my home
Yeah, you're my heart, you′re my home
Yeah, you're my heart, you′re my home
