The Average - Joseph O'Brien

No one told me I would suffer

No one told me I would grieve

They told me «live the way you want to»

You still inherit eternity

But something I got in my head

Are telling me those words are dead

No, I can tell it’s a lie, here’s why

Swept away in the dead of winter

It’s only when I cry out for my lover

Then I’ll move along, I move along

Summer comes and I look to no one

'Til the leaves start changing colors

Then I’ll pray too long, I’ll pray too long

Now there are moments where I am faithful

But I do it for worldly gain

And if it doesn’t come I will seethe and

Run to wrong my selfish drain

But something I got in my head

Are telling me those words are dead

No, I can tell it’s a lie, here’s why

Swept away in the dead of winter

It’s only when I cry out for my lover

And I’ll move along, I’ll move along

Summer comes and I look to no one

'Til the leaves start changing colors

Then I’ll pray too long, I’ll pray too long

The truth is, don’t be surprised when trials come and invade your lives

The truth is, we follow Christ in the good or bad

In the day or night

Swept away in the dead of winter

It’s only when I cry out for my lover

Then I’ll move along, I’ll move along

Summer comes and I look to no one

'Til the leaves start changing colors

Then I’ll pray too long, I’ll pray too long

Swept away in the dead of winter

It’s only when I cry out for my lover

Then I’ll move along, I’ll move along

Summer comes and I look to no one

'Til the leaves start changing colors

Then I’ll pray too long, I’ll pray too long

The truth is, don’t be surprised when trials come and invade your lives

The truth is, we follow Christ in the good or bad

In the day or night
