ages of a man

we walked up to the river

you led me in waist deep

i looked down upon the swirling waters

by your feet

you were so strong and perfect

pushed against a wave

i struggled close behind you

i was hoping i was saved

you took me to the mountain

marched me up its side

we looked down together

i was trembling inside

for you told me once of isaac

and what was meant for him

then you turned to smile at me

and i was calm again

you oh you oh you

took my hand

and led me down the ages of a man

you oh you oh you

took my hand

and led me down the ages of a man

you took me to the darkest place

deep below the earth

showed me what the simple lives

of men had once been worth

you said

this is what we come from
