Can a man scoop fire into his lap without his clothes being burned? 28 Can a man walk on hot coals without his feet being scorched? NIV Translation
Lyrics
Try to hide down in the darkness Get accustomed to our shapes Reined in 'til next week at the earliest Go through an old box full of betamax tapes Pull the blankets up to my neck And the screen began to glow I cried real tears when they beat Chuck Norris down Wait here in the shadows 'til the shadows let me go And treat each crushing moment like a gift And wait for the fog to lift Pretend I'm waiting for a notice From someone somewhere far away Sit here and break things while I'm waiting As day gives way to day gives way to day gives way to day But though I try to let the shadows mask my movements They're never gonna hide me like they used to I watch the Delta Force save everybody from that plane on fire I was watching wishing I had not lost track of you I treat each crushing moment like a gift And wait for the fog to lift
