Intro

Verse 1

 There's more that rises in the morning than the sun

More that shines in the night than just the moon

 There's more than just this fire here that keeps me warm

 In a shelter that is larger than this room

 There's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiment

A music higher than the songs that I can sing

The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance

 I owe only to the giver of all good things

Chorus

 So if I stand let me stand on the promise that you will pull me through

 And if I can't let me fall on the grace that first brought me to you

 If I sing let me sing for the joy that has born in me these songs

 But if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home

Verse 2

 There's more that dances on the prairies than the wind

More that pulses in the ocean than the tide

There's a love that is fiercer than the love between friends

 More gently than a mother's when her baby's at her side

 There's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiment

A music higher than the songs that I can sing

The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance

 I owe only to the giver of all good things
