Story Behind the Song
this song was written during a summer of discontent when i was trying to make sense fo the choices and circumstances surrounding me...
Lyrics
the days i knew, i was strong then
and not even the harsh west wind could make me bend
the days i knew, steadfast in purpose
true to the course, my daddy set for us
the nights i ran, i ran for cover
from a faith i'd yet discovered
the nights i reached for a higher power
at the end of my rope, my darkest hour...
the day i knew, this act was over
some things we've got to lose before we find them
so father please take this weight off my shoulders
some things we've got to lose before we find them...
the winter chill, felt so death defying
waiting for the spring, baby i ain't lying
there's a hurt that never heals, lies beneath the surface
let the river run, God won't desert us
and it all comes down to the heart still willing
to the strength and the light and your righteous feelings
the first step, they say its the hardest
but we walk on, alone in the garden...
the day i knew, this act was over
some things we've got to lose before we find them
so father please take this weight off my shoulders
some things we've got to lose before we find them...
the days i knew
the days i knew
the days i knew
the days i knew....
the days i knew
