lyrics

Every Second –(Scotsman/ASCAP)
A woman on a plane sitting next to me says it’s a terrible thing to get old
I asked her why, she said because you die and one piece at a time you unfold
I said I feel it now at twenty-five, yeah I’ve been dying since the day I was born
But theres still one thing worse than that
it’s dying without a warning
It’s dying without being warned

So if the cabin pressure drops and we start falling from the sky
We’ll both pray to God in the last seconds of our lives
But if we don’t die today then may this memory remain
That every second lived is worth each second of the pain

Oh flight attendent could you tell me the story of how you gave up trying to control your fate and rescue yourself
So calm and patient you greet death every day with a smile
If today he takes you would you say that your life was worthwhile, and just smile?

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I never dreamed this life for me but I am not afraid
At 35,000 feet I make my peace with fate
If my work here’s complete, before we hit the ground
May we sing the truth that sets us free
‘Cause every second counts

This album as a whole is just great. Love it! I love the throwback to an old TCC song too at the very end, of the very end... Joshua "bloodbought" Mosher

Cuts deep and stays with you. There is an earnest honesty in the lyrics that pulls you in. If, like me, you thought this album was merely "good" when you listened to it the first time, give it a few more plays. You might just fall in love with it. Francis Berglund
