(Gentle, slow piano chords, soft ambient textures)
When the noise fades away
And the room turns cold
Where does the heart wander?
In the silence, we find the truth of who we are
I look back at the pages of the ancient scrolls
Men of stature, stories of the wandering souls
David on the rooftop, idle in the heat
He let the quiet moments be his own defeat
It wasn't in the battle, it wasn't in the fight
It was when he stood alone beneath the fading light
Isolation is a desert, dry and thirsty ground
Where the whispers of the enemy are the only sound
When there’s no one there to hold you, no one there to see
It’s so easy for the captive to lose the path of free
Oh, two are better than one, that’s what the wisdom says
To pull us from the darkness in our weakest days
If one should fall to pieces, if one should start to slip
We need the grace of brotherhood, a steady grip
Don’t leave me in the silence, don’t leave me in the haze
I need a brother’s spirit to walk through all these maze
Two are better than one, help me stand tall
Lest I lose my way when I’m behind the wall
We think we are an island, strong enough to stay
But even the strongest tower can crumble in the clay
When we hide our burdens, when we walk the road alone
We’re building up a temple that’s made of heavy stone
No accountability, just secrets in the mind
That’s where the enemy is waiting, always left behind
To pick apart the resolve, to make the spirit cold
Just like the stories of the fallen that we have been told
We need the meeting, we need the open face
To remind each other of the touch of saving grace
Oh, two are better than one, that’s what the wisdom says
To pull us from the darkness in our weakest days
If one should fall to pieces, if one should start to slip
We need the grace of brotherhood, a steady grip
Don’t leave me in the silence, don’t leave me in the haze
I need a brother’s spirit to walk through all these maze
Two are better than one, help me stand tall
Lest I lose my way when I’m behind the wall
It’s not in the neglect, it’s not in walking far
It’s in the gathering together, healing every scar
Hebrews tells the story, do not forsake the door
Encourage one another, love a little more
For when the world is quiet and the shadow starts to grow
I need a hand to hold me, someone I can know
Oh, two are better than one, that’s what the wisdom says
To pull us from the darkness in our weakest days
If one should fall to pieces, if one should start to slip
We need the grace of brotherhood, a steady grip
Don’t leave me in the silence, don’t leave me in the haze
I need a brother’s spirit to walk through all these maze
Two are better than one, help me stand tall
Lest I lose my way when I’m behind the wall
When I'm alone, the mind can wander far
But with you near, I see the morning star
Stay close, my brother
Stay close, in the light
Never let me walk through the shadows of the night
