about

Written in the wilds of TN while leading music at a middle-school youth conference.

lyrics

v1:
I got a suspicion
It ain't no superstition that love will carry the day
You say hold on
It's not wrong to believe it, don't let fears get in the way

ch:
It's a fine, fine line between hope & faith
And it's time, time, time for you to make a change
Throw down those chains

v2:
No need to go solo
If you don't know what you're doing, find someone who's got your back
Don't rest in the ruins
It's not weakness, it's communion, a reminder of what we could have

ch:
It's a fine, fine line between faith & hope
And it's time, time, time for you to make it known
You chose the wings, not the rope

- imaginary harmonica solo -

v3:
Do you really believe it?
Shall we call it even? Shall we stare into the eye of the sun?
What if we don't follow?
The rules become hollow, we won't hear the starting gun

ch:
It's a fine, fine line between me & you
And it's time, time, time for you to speak some truth
The only way out is through
