Lyrics:  Near But Far

Coming NOVEMBER

"Near But Far" is about the heavy ache of physical distance and the longing for home after becoming worn down by months on the road. You're feeling lost under the moon and stars, in the back rooms, and on the road, just searching for a path back to family. The song centers on the plea for a "bridge" to reconnect with the people who matter most. Though born from the reality of a touring band, the universal theme speaks to anyone separated from loved ones by long distances, whether traveling for work or serving overseas on active duty.

Lyrics written by: Jason Fowler, Brent Wilson

You’re near but far and I’ve been on the road

I’ve been gone so long 

Thought I'd never see the sun again

The moon again

Your face again

Oh, I'm just tryin’ to find my way back home

I’m lost

 

You're near but far, near but far away

You're near but far, near but far away

 

I need a bridge, back to you and me

What we had together, it’s my family 

It’s all I want, lovin’ me

Oh, I’m just tryin’ to find my way back home

I’ve been lost

 

You're near but far, near but far away

You're near but far, near but far away

 

Now I know what I’ve got to do

Gotta find my way back home to you

So God give me strength to walk the road

 

I’m so near but far, near but far away

I’m near but far, near but far away

 

Near but far, near but far away

Oh... You're near but far,

Near but far
