The Return - John Lucas

I miss the days before every love song had been writ

And every story penned

Another mind hadn’t beat you to it

I miss the days before every land had been mapped

When you could go explore

And know the world was still untapped

I miss the days before men couldn’t outwit God

When He still spoke to us

And we still spoke to God

I miss the days before men could do everything

When we still dreamed lik birds

Before we forgd our wings

Oh when did we stop missing things?

When did we trade our garden and the King of Kings

For a land that’s bare and a God that’s blind

How can we not yearn for what’s behind?

I miss the days before rings came off so easy

When I could promise you

And believe that you believed me

I miss the days before everything had a price

When we couldn’t count the cost

Of every single sacrifice
