On The Divide Lyrics - Bebo Norman

The sky was the color of morning 

And the mountains surrounded 

The ground as our bed. 

The Spirit would rise without warning 

Just to burn like the sun 

That would soon warm our hands. 

And the world was three days behind us, 

And the world was three days ahead. 

But for now no one could find us 

In the wilderness. 

Only bound by the burdens we brought, 

But we were slowly releasing them 

Along the way. 

Pride was the battle we fought 

Until we opened our eyes 

To the Light of that day 

The past towered before us, 

But we could see the top of the trail. 

So we climbed with strength we're not born with 

And we were rising... 

We stood on that mountain, 

We turned to the sky. 

With trembling inside, 

We lifted our eyes 

And pulling us higher... 

Was something Divine 

That gave us that time 

On the Divide. 

It was something Divine 

That gave us that time 

On the Divide. 

So we turned from our view at the top 

With a vision so clear 

And the sun in our face. 

And back to the valley we walked 

Knowing everything good 

Has its time and its place. 

New life was burning inside us 

Still it hurt turning to home. 

But the same Spirit would guide us 

That we had seen when... 

We stood on that mountain, 

We turned to the sky. 

With trembling inside, 

We lifted our eyes 

And pulling us higher... 

Was something Divine 

That gave us that time 

On the Divide. 

It was something Divine 

That gave us that time 

On the Divide.
