Farther Down The Line

Augustana

Compositor: Dan Layus

Lock jaw and tongue tied
Like prisoners in paradise
We're half broke and terrified
Longing to be heard

Fixed to another fate
We've lost out on better days
But, somehow we'll come away
From all that we've endured

Yeah, our life is just a little bit farther down the line
It's up on the horizon and it's been so hard to find
I'm sorry though, we'll never know how far we fell behind
But, our life is just a little bit farther down the line

We put everything aside
Eight years of sacrifice
We missed all the warning signs
They were right there all along

There's still hope to make it right
So, I'm staying in the fight
Til we're back on the other side
In the place where we belong

Yeah, our life is just a little bit farther down the line
Sometimes I still replay it all over in my mind
It's hard to think that maybe we arrived ahead of time
But, our life is just a little bit farther down the line

Here in our darkest hour
We'll search for light, search for light
It feels like we're overpowered
But we will survive, we will survive

'Cause, our life is just a little bit farther down the line
I can touch it with my fingertips, hold it in my mind
This broken ground won't slow us down
We'll reach it right on time
'Cause, our life is just a little bit farther down the line
Farther down the line
