Lyrics

Throw away your heart’s desires on these dust-trodden plains in this ramshackle life
The best laid plans of man and beast though they rise in the west they will fall in the east

But oh, there’s a distant pull
Calling on…to a distant shore

Count your every scar I’ll count mine
Heaven, once attained, turns back time
Everything that’s sad will come untrue
When the scarred King resurrects you

Never before in the tale of time has the death of a god meant the life of mankind
Wounds that mark the risen Son are the life-giving breath that invite us along

And oh, there’s a distant pull
Calling on…to a distant shore

Count your every scar I’ll count mine
Heaven once attained turns back time
Everything that’s sad will come untrue
When the scarred King resurrects you

It’s the fragrance of a flower we can’t find
It’s the echo of a song we’ve never heard before
It’s the news from a far country out of mind
It’s that ancient, secret whisper
Only broken hearts remember home

Though this world has marked your soul, child nothing is wasted if you follow Him home
The wounded one will kiss your scars, and humanity lost finds creation restored

And oh, there’s a distant pull
Calling on…to a distant shore

Count your every scar I’ll count mine
Heaven once attained turns back time
Everything that’s sad will come untrue
When the scarred King resurrects you
