Artist/Band: Sara Groves
Lyrics for Song: The Long Defeat
Lyrics for Album: Tell Me What You Know [2007]



I have joined the long defeat

that falling set in motion

all my strength and energy

are raindrops in the ocean



so conditioned for the win

to share in victor's stories

but in the place of ambition's din

I've heard of other glories



I pray for an idea

and a way I cannot see

It's too heavy to carry

and impossible to leave



I can't just fight when I think I'll win

that's the end of all belief

and nothing has provoked it more

than a possible defeat



I pray for an idea

and a way I cannot see

It's too heavy to carry

and impossible to leave



We walk a while we sit and rest

we lay it on the altar

I won't pretend to know what's next

but what I have I've offered



I pray for a vision

and a way I cannot see

It's too heavy to carry

and impossible to leave



I pray for inspiration

and a way I cannot see

It's too heavy to carry

and impossible to leave
