Lyrics:<br />
In my desire for righteousness<br />
I turned my heart into a fortress<br />
Built higher walls with no drawbridge<br />
I grabbed my sword and I clenched my fists<br />
<br />
Oh fear divides and separates<br />
And as wisdom often masquerades<br />
But Jesus comes and violates<br />
Every kingdom built to isolate<br />
<br />
I thought my whole life<br />
There was just a pull from one side<br />
A dark attempt to see me compromise<br />
Then religion told me to be holy<br />
With a burden on my shoulders<br />
Though meaning well still gave me hell<br />
And I realized just the same<br />
The roads are wide on both sides<br />
But that’s why Jesus came<br />
<br />
I’m gonna walk this line straight through time<br />
Holdin’ fast to Jesus Christ<br />
As bombs go off on my left and right<br />
I’m gonna walk this line till I see the light<br />
<br />
I thought my whole life<br />
There was just a pull from one side<br />
A dark attempt to see me compromise<br />
And then religion told me to be holy<br />
With a burden on my shoulders<br />
Though meaning well still gave me hell<br />
And I realized just the same<br />
The roads are wide on both sides<br />
But that’s why Jesus came<br />
<br />
His yoke is easy, His burden doesn’t crush me<br />
His hand is always steady and so I’ll let Him lead<br />
The blind guide blindly but I see the best when trusting<br />
His hand is always steady, so I’ll let Him lead<br />
<br />
His yoke is easy and His burden doesn’t crush me<br />
His hand is always steady, so I’ll let Him lead<br />
The blind guide blindly but I see the best when trusting<br />
His hand is always steady, so I’ll let Him lead<br />
<br />
Thought my whole life<br />
There was just a pull from one side<br />
A dark attempt to see me compromise<br />
Then religion told me to be holy<br />
With a burden on my shoulders<br />
Though meaning well still gave me hell<br />
And I realized just the same<br />
The roads are wide on both sides<br />
But that’s why Jesus came<br />
<br />
I’m gonna walk this line straight through time<br />
Holdin’ fast to Jesus Christ<br />
As bombs go off on my left and right<br />
I’m gonna walk this line till I see the light<br />
