[Lyrics for Alison Krauss – Faraway Land]
When years seem like days to me
No time on my hands
I run away to a place in me to a faraway land
When home seems so far from me
Heaven’s lights grow dim
It’s just as far as my deepest heart
Where my heart’s father lives
His quiet voice speaking in silence every day
If I will only listen to the words he has to say
I’ll walk in his spirit and see him in my face
I will live, ’cause he will live in my place
When life seem so hard to bear
When shadows look real
The circumstance is your father’s care
Don’t find faith by what you feel
If you have been running to
Stop now in your tracks
Turn again to the one in you
And put your burdens on his back
His quiet voice speaking in silence every day
If I will only listen to the words he has to say
I’ll walk in his spirit and see him in your face
I will live, ’cause he will live in my place
When years seem like days to me
No time on my hands
I run away to a place in me to a faraway land
