Lyrics

I can see on the horizon, the dust cloud drawing near
The inevitable risin’, the worry and the fear
I can’t hold it back, the odds are stacked against me once again
It’s too late to run, it has begun, can’t see when its gonna end

Like a stampede, running over me
Suddenly I need some room to breathe
Lord, give me grace, I need a hiding place
Help me overcome the mess I’ve made
I can’t escape it, I just have to face it
Lord, keep my head held high, above the stampede

I can stay here in denial, and pretend that I am strong
But rose-colored glasses always prove me wrong
How can something weigh you down so much and still feel like a surge?
It’s not enough to change, I gotta pray I can face the thundering herd

Like a stampede, running over me
Suddenly I need some room to breathe
Lord, give me grace, I need a hiding place
Help me overcome the mess I’ve made
I can’t escape it, I just have to face it
Lord, keep my head held high, above the stampede

Suddenly I make it through the day,
The sound and the fury goes away
But I’m so tired of always worrying
Living on the edge is so discouraging
God, hear my prayer, can you show me a better way?

Like a stampede, running over me
Suddenly I need some room to breathe
Lord, give me grace, I need a hiding place
Help me overcome the mess I’ve made
I can’t escape it, I just have to face it
Lord, keep my head held high,

Above the stampede, running over me
Suddenly I need some room to breathe
Lord, give me grace, I need a hiding place
Help me overcome the mess I’ve made
I can’t escape it, I just have to face it
Lord, keep my head held high, above the stampede
It’s like a stampede
Like a stampede
