[00:20.88]Deep in your blood or a voice in your head
[00:25.24]On a dark lonesome highway
[00:28.03]It finds you instead
[00:30.31]So certain it knows you, you can't turn away
[00:35.28]Something or someone has found you today
[00:39.49]
[00:41.41]Genius or Jesus, maybe he's seen us
[00:46.12]But who would believe us
[00:48.20]I can't really say
[00:51.04]Whatever the calling, the stumbling or falling
[00:55.84]You follow it knowing
[00:57.91]There's no other way, there's no other way
[01:04.49]
[01:12.95]There are zealots and preachers
[01:15.27]And readers of dreams
[01:17.70]The righteous yell loudest
[01:19.85]And the saved rise to sing
[01:22.68]The lonely and lost are just waiting to hear
[01:27.29]Any moment their purpose
[01:29.70]Will be perfectly clear
[01:31.63]
[01:32.22]And then life would mean more
[01:34.46]Than their name on their door
[01:36.91]And that far distant shore that's so near
[01:42.30]They'd hear the calling
[01:44.51]And stumbling and falling
[01:46.86]They'd follow it knowing
[01:49.04]There's nothing to fear
[01:53.00]Nothing to fear
[01:55.87]
[02:12.87]I don't remember a voice
[02:16.07]On a dark, lonesome road
[02:18.46]When I started this journey so long ago
[02:23.40]I was only just trying to outrun the noise
[02:28.15]There was never a question of having a choice
[02:32.81]
[02:34.54]Jesus or genie, maybe they've seen me
[02:39.33]But who would believe me
[02:41.43]I can't really say
[02:44.10]Whatever the calling, the stumbling and falling
[02:48.98]I followed it knowing there's no other way
[02:53.13]
[02:54.08]Jesus or genie, maybe he's seen me
[02:58.82]But who would believe me
[03:00.93]I can't really say
[03:03.66]Whatever the calling, stumbling and falling
[03:08.50]I got through it knowing there's no other way
[03:14.69]There's no other way
[03:18.30]
