Bebo Norman - Collide lyrics

I've seen the writing on the wall I've seen the best of things I've seen my kingdoms rise and fall I've seen the wound in everyone I know All of these things and still I hold on tight To the altars I keep building to the sky To the coffers and my failed attempts to fly I've held the promises of man Drank from that water deep And I've held beauty in my hands I kissed her mouth and watch her turn to sand All of these things and still I hold on tight To the altars I keep building to the sky To the coffers and my failed attempts to fly away How long, how long Must we hold on, hold on Before grace and gravity collide? Hold, hold on tight.... To the altars I keep building to the sky To the coffers and my failed attempts to fly away And still You say, you're mine, you're mine
