Harder Than It Seems

mystery girl runs away -
to a harlot city's hard embrace -
seeking what's been advertised -
all the life that's been denied-
a fever burns in every joint-
a plea in every needlepoint-
communion -
can you have a perfect lover without understanding love?
can you see a brighter future without seeking what you hide?
and i understand that simple truth is deeper than is wide -
still i know...
sometimes its harder than it seems-
sometimes its harder than it seems-
mystery girl walks alone-
through the doors a hundred offerings made -
hear the echo, touch the wood -
as a deeper longing longs for good...
and as the candle leaves your hand -
feel the warmth and understand -
communion -
can you have a perfect lover without understanding love?
can you see a brighter future without seeking what you hide?
and i understand that simple truth is deeper than is wide-
still i know…
sometimes it harder than it seems-
sometimes it's harder than it seems-
and you're wanting to believe-
sometimes it's harder than it seems -
shame is like a blister every step will make it worse -
and the vessels of your great escape have all but disappeared -
and you hear the savior call you to a life beyond your means
and i know even a simple faith is harder than it seems- it seems-
can you have a perfect lover without understanding love?
can you see a brighter future without seeking what you hide?
and i understand that simple truth is deeper than is wide-
still i know
sometimes it's harder than it seems-
sometimes it's harder than it seems-
and you're wanting to believe -
sometimes it's harder than it seems -
