The Crossing 

Look there, do you see those distant lights? 
We’re drawing near now in the hollow of the night 
Soon we will be given a new name 
And everything will never be the same 

This is the crossing, there is the shore 
We will not be who we were anymore 
We may remember who we might have been 
But we will not pass back that way again 

We’re only lost if we got someplace to be 
We can only start from where we are 
Places in the rearview mirror are 
Closer than they appear 
How have we ever come so far? 

We may not find a place to stake our claim 
We will always wonder why we came 
They will always wonder where we gone 
We will always be returning home 

We’re only lost if we got someplace to be 
We can only start from where we are 
Faces in the rearview mirror are 
Closer than they appear 
How have we ever come so far? 
How have we ever come so far?
