[Verse 1]
Faithful friend, at journey's end
The shore that I land on is you
The rock that I stand on is you

Fortunes fade and beds unmade
You're like a mountain to me
Forever changeless to me
(Everything changes)

[Chorus 1]
So look me straight into the eye
Swear to God and tell me I'm not living a lie
But if I'm wrong and you know why
Tell me now, don't let me go on living a lie

[Verse 2]
Fate is cruel you've made a fool
And when I've fallen from your grace
I will find comfort in your face
(Everything changes)

[Chorus 1]
So look me straight into the eye
Swear to God and tell me I'm not living a lie
But if I'm wrong and you know why
Tell me now, don't let me go on living a lie
[Bridge]
I can hear the howling hounds not far behind
But I keep the destination clear in mind
And the certain sanctuary I will find
When I get back to your arms

[Verse 3]
Trusting hearts are torn apart
Jealousy follows in their wake
Under the pressure they break
Everything changes

[Chorus 2]
And everyone wants to divide us
Fan the flames and tell us we are living a lie
But they don't care if we survive
And I refuse to say that we are living a lie

[Chorus 1]
So look me straight into the eye
Swear to God and tell me I'm not living a lie
But if I'm wrong and you know why
Tell me now, don't let me go on living a lie
