Sooner Or Later (Soren's Song)
Switchfoot · New Way To Be Human
Follow me home
Give me a motive
Swallow me whole
They say I've lost it
What could I know
When I'm but a mockery?
I'm so alone
Sooner or later you'll find out
There's a hole in the wall (2x)
Today is ours Condemned to be
free
Free to keep breathing
Free to believe
I look to find you
Down on my knees
Oh God, I believe!
Please help me believe
Sooner or later they'll find out
There's a hole in the wall
Sooner or later you'll find out
That you'll dream to be that small
I'm a believer, help me believe (2x)
I gave it all away and lost who I
am
I threw it all away
With everything to gain
And I'm taking the leap
With dreams of shrinking
Yeah, dreams of shrinking (3x)
Come back and haunt me
Follow me home
Give me a motive
Swallow me whole
Sooner or later... (6x)
