Jars Of Clay - Redemption Lyrics






We made it to a strange town
Going down the wrong road
Like any story retold
Couldn't find a common ending
We're way gone, be gone, looking for our own way

We needed a distraction
You said you were redemption

We knew it as a wrong turn
We couldn't know the things we'd gain
When we reach the other border
We look out way down past the road we came from

We're looking for redemption
It was hidden in the landscape
Of loss and love and fire and rain
Never would have come this way
Looking for redemption

We were looking out past the road we came from

Looking at redemption
Hidden in the landscape
Of loss and love and fire and rain
Never would have come this way
Looking for redemption
In the eyes of sorrow, eyes of rage
What a sordid histories they played
The drama of redemption
Redemption

    This was my favorite song as a teenager.

  3. N.... L....

    What album is this from?

    N.... L....

    I think it's from Furthermore: From the Studio. Great album set. It came with two discs: From the Studio and From the Stage, a live recording.

  4. S.... ....

    Haha! That's a good idea. He is nice.

  5. S.... ....

    Some of the lyrics are a little hard to catch, but the "What" in that verse could very well be "With" so it would actually be "With assorted histories they played the drama of redemption."

  6. S.... ....

    Multiple sources on the internet say "a sordid" but none of them are truly credible. If it was sordid, there wouldn't be the "a," it would just be "what sordid histories..." It does make sense to say "assorted histories." Haha! Unless I can find a real Jars of Clay lyric source that says otherwise, I'm pretty confident it says, "assorted."

    We all have things we would not have flashed across the sky!
