1000 Years

Third Day · Carry Me Home [2002]

In a thousand years this all will fade away

When it's all said and done what matters is today

And I hear the echoes they sound like a ghost

They're from missed opportunities and unfamiliar roles



Nations rise and fall and leave their legacy

But in the end we're just the same

And some day we'll understand the mystery

And we'll all know the glory of Your ways

In a thousand years



In a thousand years we all will be gone

And in the end all we want is something to pass on

Ambitions dance on the edge of my mind, Lord

Your treasure's much better than this fool's gold of mine



Nations rise and fall and leave their legacy

But in the end we're just the same

And some day we'll understand the mystery

And we'll all know the glory of Your ways

Yes, we'll all know the glory of Your ways

In a thousand years



Nations rise and fall and leave their legacy

But in the end we're just the same

And some day we'll understand the mystery

And we'll all know the glory of Your ways



Nations rise and fall and leave their legacy

But in the end we're just the same

And some day we'll understand the mystery

And we'll all know the glory of Your ways

Yes, we'll all know the glory of Your ways

In a thousand years

In a thousand years
