Today I thought I’d share this video of Caught In The Wire (from Atlases & Astronauts) that I recorded a couple of years ago in our old house.
If you enjoy the song/video, please share it!

LYRICS
Time won’t stop for anyone
It doesn’t stand and wait
For the ones who run so fast
Yet always get in late
I wanted to be an astronaut
So I could learn to fly
And dance in the moonlight
And watch the world go by, from up high
Now I’m caught in the wire
That stretches between all I am and all I could have been
And I stand in the fire
This taster of hell that says heaven was just a dream, not for me
The air is warm tonight
But somehow I feel so cold
The night is young
But I’ve never felt so old
I wish my faith was strong
Didn’t fail at times like these
When Hallelujahs
Don’t come so easily
And I’m caught in the wire
That stretches between all I am and all I could have been
And I stand in the fire
This taster of hell that says heaven was just a dream, not for me
I always try to be quick to listen and slow to speak
But I open my mouth and words come falling out
But I’ll try tomorrow, on the time I’ve borrowed
To get it right, before I lose the light
I know that You’re still here
It’s only me who walks
When the sound of my own fear
Is the loudest voice that talks
But there’s power in me yet
I’ll get up and take a stand
Against this old enemy
And I’ll wait for your hand…
To pull me out of the wire
That stretches between all I am and all I could have been
Get me out of this fire
This taster of hell that keeps heaven away from me
Away from me.
