The Great Divide Lyrics
Deep is the longing in the heart that ever strives
the expenses far and wide that still confine
the simple facts that yet lay waiting to be found
as lost as some forgotten promised land
Consider reasons through our good-byes
looking back for one last time
Just for a second look into your heart
as you stand and look across the great divide
Remember all the things that you will leave behind
as you set out to cross the vast and great divide
Guard and defend when forces hinder and collide
Solemn intentions both blessed and divine
You still pulled victory from shattered hope
Count your doubts with broken smiles
covered your hurt in your pride
no need for reasons, none to confide
look back and bid farewell for one last time
Just for a second look into your heart
as you stand and look across the great divide
Remember all the things that you will leave behind
as you set out to cross the vast and great divide
Just for a second look into your heart
as you stand and look across the great divide
Remember all the things that you will leave behind
as you set out to cross the vast and great divide
Just for a second look into my eyes
as you stand and look across the great divide
As you let go of tears for what you leave behind
while looking back again to say farewell for one last time
Before looking back again to say farewell for one last time
Before looking back again to say farewell for one last time
the expenses far and wide that still confine
the simple facts that yet lay waiting to be found
as lost as some forgotten promised land
looking back for one last time
as you stand and look across the great divide
Remember all the things that you will leave behind
as you set out to cross the vast and great divide
Solemn intentions both blessed and divine
You still pulled victory from shattered hope
Count your doubts with broken smiles
covered your hurt in your pride
look back and bid farewell for one last time
as you stand and look across the great divide
Remember all the things that you will leave behind
as you set out to cross the vast and great divide
as you stand and look across the great divide
Remember all the things that you will leave behind
as you set out to cross the vast and great divide
as you stand and look across the great divide
As you let go of tears for what you leave behind
while looking back again to say farewell for one last time
Before looking back again to say farewell for one last time

This song is about beginning a new chpater in your life-leaving the old things behind and embracing change. It is also really awesome.
In the first bit it's 'expanses', not 'expenses', in the second it's 'long goodbyes', not 'our goodbyes', and in the chorus it's 'remember well the things that you will leave behind'.
