Ten thousand men go marching up
The hill and when they reach the top
To fields of blood and spoils of war and then
It's five a.m I don't know what
I'm doing up and on the floor
It's just so strange to see
The grace that's raining down on me
Through broken glass and hungry eyes
A father tells his children lies
But he knows he's not coming back again
I could have been that man if I
Had not surrendered to the call
The pull was strong enough
To bend my will and break my fall
I don't pretend to know the reason
I've been chosen to receive
The mercy strength and peace
His dying on the cross for me released
