[Verse 1]
[00:20.27]The light I'm seeing left its star
[00:23.86]A thousand years before I came to be
[00:28.34]It traveled through the empty cold
[00:31.75]To land tonight inside the eye of me
[00:36.54]I only get one frame at once
[00:39.81]A single tick, a single mile
[00:42.91]But He is standing outside time
[00:47.79]And sees the whole of it, and smiles

[Chorus]
[00:51.84]It's a long, long light year
[00:55.80]And I walk it one day deep
[00:59.76]But He's already at the ending
[01:03.88]Of the path I'm trying to keep
[01:08.24]I am crawling through the minutes
[01:12.25]He is holding all the reel
[01:16.53]The future isn't scary
[01:19.69]When the Filmmaker is real

[Verse 2]
[01:25.70]So I don't have to see the end
[01:29.71]To trust the hand that drew the start
[01:33.98]He read the final chapter
[01:37.72]Then He wrote it on my heart
[01:42.20]The waiting feels like wandering
[01:45.69]But the wandering is scored
[01:49.85]Every frame already finished
[01:53.77]In the patience of the Lord

[Chorus]
[01:57.74]It's a long, long light year
[02:01.72]And I walk it one day deep
[02:05.67]But He's already at the ending
[02:09.69]Of the path I'm trying to keep
[02:14.13]I am crawling through the minutes
[02:18.16]He is holding all the reel
[02:21.92]The future isn't scary
[02:25.62]When the Filmmaker is real

[Bridge]
[02:32.37]Way out there the light still flies
[02:40.35]Way back here it fills my eyes
[02:47.64]And the God of both the distance
[02:51.66]Is the God who dries my eyes

[Outro]
[02:57.61]It's a long, long light year
[03:01.05]But I'm not walking it alone
[03:05.55]He's already at the ending
[03:09.54]He's already, already home
