The Coward that Wakes with the Morning Lyrics by The Wandering Tree

Farther from Familiar

2010

I'm still trembling
Oh God, please take this fear out of my chest
There's still part of me that wishes I was home
Where I feel stronger
No, I'm not one for patience
And this wind is blowing so slowly
Come on, come on!
Move me forward and put this sea far behind me
I recall their voices
"You're setting off like a fool into the unknown!"
Looking back it's not what I expected
But I can still hear you calling out
"Do you still call me father when you cannot see the sun?"
My mind is silenced by the beauty of the ocean's grace
Deep down beneath I feel it moving
Reflecting back my anxious face
And I pray for the peace that comes only from you
Looking back it's not what I expected
But I can still hear you calling out
"Do you still call me father when you cannot see the sun?"
I've stayed up countless nights
Afraid of the coward that wakes with the morning
And I recall their voices
"You're setting off like a fool into the unknown!"
