Groves, Sara - The Long Defeat Lyrics
I have joined the long defeat
That falling set in motion
And all my strength and energy
Are raindrops in the ocean
To share in victor's stories
But in the place of ambition's din
I have heard of other glories
And I pray for an idea
And a way I cannot see
It's too heavy to carry
And impossible to leave
I can't just fight when I think I'll win
And nothing has provoked it more
Than a possible defeat
[Chorus]
We walk a while we sit and rest
We lay it on the altar
I won't pretend to know what's next
But what I have I've offered
And I pray for a vision
And a way I cannot see
It's too heavy to carry
And impossible to leave
And I pray for inspiration
And a way I cannot see
It's too heavy to carry
And impossible to leave
It's too heavy to carry
And I will never leave

Groves, Sara The Long Defeat Comments
Not what I was expecting to find when looking for the song by Thrice, but I like it!
Hearing this in concert when I turned 40 was a life changing moment (4 years ago, ahem). Sara sank on "we walk a while, we sit and rest" over and over and the Holy Spirit made sure I got it. Oh how I wish she was coming near Raleigh soon~~
