The Long Defeat

by Sara Groves:

[...]
and i pray for an idea
and a way i cannot see
it's too heavy to carry
and impossible to leave
[...]

chorus

we walk a while we sit and rest
we lay it on the altar
i won't pretend to know what's next
but what i have i've offered

and i pray for a vision
and a way i cannot see
it's too heavy to carry
and impossible to leave

and i pray for inspiration
and a way i cannot see
it's too heavy to carry
and impossible to leave
it's too heavy to carry
and i will never leave
