The Prize
by First Call

Album: First Call

A child of God in the heat of it all
Staggering under the weight of the call
Eyes upon the only One who knows
The forerunner of my faith
Who for joy set the pace
Understands the war against my soul
He says move on, you gotta let it go
What's done is done, you're on a brave new road

Chorus:
So, I'm taking this
Taking this mighty load
And I'm leaving it behind
I'm gonna make it on
Make it on down the road
Reaching for the prize
For the prize

Every time I shed my skin
I find the courage once again
To agonize the agony of faith
Breathe in me the will to try
In my body magnify
To know that you have suffered not in vain
He says to hold on, you gotta let it show
You know what's yours, down this brave new road

(REPEAT CHORUS)

It heals a piece of my soul when I shed my skin
And I leave it behind and start over again
Shaking this mighty load
Oh, I've been staggering under the heat of the call
But I get up and I move on after I fall
Making it down the road

He says move on, you gotta let it go
You know what's yours, down this brave new road

(REPEAT CHORUS 2X)

Keep reaching, keep reaching
Reaching, reaching for the prize...
