A World Away
by The Choir

Album: The Loudest Sound Ever Heard

All bright things have shadow sides
Gilded kingdoms are illusion
To be forgiven is to know divine love
Proud religion is delusion

I'm a world away from enlightened
More than a stone's throw from the truth
I'm a sad, far cry from a man who never lies
But I'll hold the lantern high for you
I'll hold the lantern high for you

I have stumbled down dark streets
Too drunk to know the dangerously
Too blind to tell a demon from an angel
Or a lover from a stranger

I'm a world away from enlightened
More than a stone's throw from the truth
I'm a sad, far cry from a man who never lies
But I'll hold the lantern high for you
I'll hold the lantern high for you

Scratching at the ocean floor
No hop to fix your eyes on
Then suddenly you're breathing under water
Behold the luminous horizon

I'm a world away from enlightened
More than a stone's throw from the truth
I'm a sad, far cry from a man who never lies
But I'll hold the lantern high for you
I'll hold the lantern high for you
