Verse 1 
In a world based on living by the eye 
The favoured path appearing first, a universal lie 
The trouble is these people find they're always running off 
They've chased these twisted trails, soon to see that they are lost 
They learn that everywhere they go is simply going nowhere 
It's all a piece of fiction and the fix cannot be seen there 
We've found no other hope outside of our perception 
It's safe to say that this has steered our misdirection 

Chorus 
Although the narrow path appeared open to doubt 
The faith we've kept has shown us what this walk is about 
When we walk by sight, life's an unknown fate 
But when we walk by faith, He keeps our pathways leading straight 
x2 

Verse 2 
We need to learn to follow or we'll never settle down 
We need to learn to just surrender, listen to the Crown 
The judgment of our eyes cannot determine if we're wise 
Human beings so error-prone will face no more than highs 
The only way to really live is first to change our hearts 
Honouring the Maker is where satisfaction starts 
Living with devotion, it's one way or the other 
We need to give up all our ways so we can live another 

Chorus 
Although the narrow path appeared open to doubt 
The faith we've kept has shown us what this walk is about 
When we walk by sight, life's an unknown fate 
But when we walk by faith, He keeps our pathways leading straight 
x2
