Lyrics

[Verse 1]
No one told me I would suffer
No one told me I would grieve
They told me, "Live the way you want to
You still inherit eternity"
[Verse 2]
But something I got in my head
Are telling me those words are dead
No, I can tell it's a lie, and here's why
[Verse 3]
Swept away in the dead of winter
It's only when I cry out for my lover
Then I'll move along, I'll move along
Summer comes and I look to no one
Till the leaves start changing color
Then I'll pray too long, I'll pray too long
[Verse 4]
Now there are moments where I am faithful
But I do it for worldly gain
And if it doesn't come, I will seethe
And run to wrong, my selfish drain
[Verse 5]
But something I got in my head
Are telling those words are dead
Now I can tell it's a lie, and here's why
[Verse 6]
Swept away in the dead of winter
It's only when I cry out for my lover
Then I'll move along, I'll move along
Summer comes and I look to no one
Till the leaves start changing color
Then I'll pray too long, I'll pray too long
[Verse 7]
The truth is, don't be surprised
When trials come and invade your lives
The truth is, we follow Christ in the good or bad
In the day or night
[Verse 8]
Swept away in the dead of winter
It's only when I cry out for my lover
Then I'll move along, I'll move along
Summer comes and I look to no one
Till the leaves start changing color
Then I'll pray too long, I'll pray too long
[Verse 9]
Swept away in the dead of winter
It's only when I cry out for my lover
Then I'll move along, I'll move along
Summer comes and I look to no one
Till the leaves start changing color
Then I'll pray too long, I'll pray too long
[Verse 10]
The truth is, don't be surprised
When trials come and invade your lives
The truth is, we follow Christ in the good or bad
In the day or night
