Gratto Lyrics

Anakin Tumnus: "Call And Response"
lyrics by Gratto

I do not know the man I'm called to be
And yet I hear him calling into me
And though I know that I have gone astray
I do not feel the need to go away

Lately I've noticed that my mind is strange
The more I learn the more I yearn to change
The more my weakness seeks to hold me back
The more I seek to hold the strength I lack

Now here I am I'm confused and I'm lost
By the side of my life like a ship that's been tossed to the sea
I see light in the eye of the cloud
If I reached up for mercy would someone reach down

What else could you do and what more would you say
If I wasted this chance let hope slip away
Though I know that there's more than the solace I find
In this life that got lost in the passage of time

Sit down young man and I'll hold all your troubles
In the palm of my hand If you'll only be still
You think I don't speak but it's you who won't listen
If you'd ask for a drink I could give you your fill

I can't hear you, I don't want you
I can't see you , I won't love you

Impatient young man with your passionate motives
I could show you much more that your heart could conceive
So take up your cross or deny your transgressions
And the truth shall set free all who truely believe

I don't need this

Now the fight had begun and I couldn't escape
Though I tried just to lock it away
But the voices grew stronger each day
I'd have given my life to ignore them
But they chose to be all I could see
Still I didn't want to be free

Quiet voice run through my head
Don't let me alone

(Left): Sustain this child (Right): Jesus Savior

What replaces dreams I had
Now thrown against stone

(Left): The teaching gives (Right): Almighty God

Crushed and crumbled rubble ground
Please don't let me down

(Left): ___ is up to (Right) Rose of Sharon

Things I wanted Things I fear
Please don't leave me here

(Left): Foot sound this ground (Right): The prince of peace

You don't want to fall... Why can't I lose the feeling
You don't want to fear...
You don't want to crawl... That there's something more
Don't you want me here

You don't want to give... Why can't I turn around
You don't want to die...
Don't you want to live... Look back and walk away from this open door
Don't you want to fly

You just have to fall... Why can't I run
You don't want to fear...
You just have to crawl... Why can't I hide
And I'll be right here

You just have to give... Why won't you stop
You just have to die...
And then you can live... Why even try And then you can fly
