Lyrics

Closer to God

This is not a fire test
You may see me from the calling light
Although the sky is breaking
I ain’t even shaking
I was walking on the other side
I was walking on the tracks again
Well if you see from the calling light
Keep your head down, the end’s in sight
Although the sky is breaking
I ain’t even shaking
I was walking on the other side
I was walking on the tracks again
Thank you very much, I’ll see you again
I was walking on the other side
I was walking on the tracks again
I was walking on the overground
Thank you very much, I’ll see you again
I was walking on the other side
I was walking on the tracks again
I was walking on the overground
Every single day, a closer to God
Every single day, a closer to God
Every single day, a closer to God
Every single day, a closer to God
Every single day, a closer to God
Every single day, a closer to God
Every single day, a closer to God
Every single day, you get a closer to God
This is not a sound check
You may crawl into the falling light
Although the sky is breaking
I ain’t even shaking
I was walking on the other side
I was walking on the tracks again
Well if you see from the calling light
Keep your head down, the end’s in sight
Although the sky is breaking
I ain’t even shaking
I was walking on the other side
I was walking on the tracks again
Thank you very much, I’ll see you again
I was walking on the other side
I was walking on the tracks again
I was walking on the overground
Thank you very much, I’ll see you again
I was walking on the other side
I was walking on the tracks again
I was walking on the overground
Every single day, a closer to God
Every single day, a closer to God
Every single day, a closer to God
Every single day, a closer to God
Every single day, a closer to God
Every single day, a closer to God
Every single day, a closer to God
Every single day, you get a closer to God
