you ve built a house made of stone for me for when i depart and come home home to you so i long for the day when i find a place to rest my head because this side of eternity i know this place is not my home this place is not my home chorus like the thought that s thrown to the sea is the heartache that comes when you walk away from yourself and step out into this life unknown its the great departure verse 2 well i am aware of my time and it s brevity you ve set its course before my heart knew it s beat so i ll let go of this shiftless frame and i ll wait for my bones to be made new cause this side of eternity i know this place is not my home this place is not my home bridge well i ve had my doubts on how it all ends will i go to an endless life will i pay for my sins will i be set free before the throne all questions cease all questions cease ending i ll stop jumping off of rooftops just to know what a thrill it is to fall and i ll learn to open my arms and trust you
