[00:00.00]Painting Pictures of Egypt - Sara Groves
[00:14.13]I don't want to leave here
[00:17.51]I don't want to stay
[00:20.17]
[00:21.18]It feels like pinching to me
[00:24.04]
[00:24.59]Either way
[00:26.91]
[00:28.59]And the places I long for the most
[00:31.72]Are the places where I've been
[00:34.60]
[00:35.39]They are calling out to me
[00:38.08]
[00:38.66]Like a long lost friend
[00:41.81]
[00:43.41]It's not about losing faith
[00:46.70]It's not about trust
[00:49.49]
[00:50.10]It's all about comfortable
[00:52.64]
[00:53.38]When you move so much
[00:56.16]
[00:57.61]And the place I was wasn't perfect
[01:00.23]But I had found a way to live
[01:04.26]And it wasn't milk or honey
[01:07.27]But then neither is this
[01:10.42]
[01:11.22]I've been painting pictures of Egypt
[01:14.58]
[01:15.23]Leaving out what it lacks
[01:17.92]
[01:18.47]The future feels so hard
[01:20.49]And I want to go back
[01:23.72]
[01:24.92]But the places that used to fit me
[01:28.37]Cannot hold the things I've learned
[01:31.77]Those roads were closed off to me
[01:35.45]
[01:36.76]While my back was turned
[01:43.24]
[01:51.89]The past is so tangible
[01:54.66]
[01:55.31]I know it by heart
[01:58.06]
[01:59.84]Familiar things are never easy
[02:02.70]
[02:03.22]To discard
[02:04.85]
[02:05.97]And I was dying for some freedom
[02:08.85]But now I hesitate to go
[02:12.35]
[02:12.87]I am caught between the Promise
[02:15.91]And the things I know
[02:18.87]
[02:19.73]I've been painting pictures of Egypt
[02:22.92]
[02:23.75]Leaving out what it lacks
[02:27.03]The future feels so hard
[02:29.15]And I want to go back
[02:32.63]
[02:33.48]But the places that used to fit me
[02:36.97]Cannot hold the things I've learned
[02:40.50]Those roads were closed off to me
[02:45.12]While my back was turned
[02:47.07]I've been painting pictures of Egypt
[02:50.52]
[02:51.03]Leaving out what it lacks
[02:53.82]
[02:54.63]The future feels so hard
[02:56.45]And I want to go back
[02:59.79]
[03:01.01]But the places that used to fit me
[03:03.92]
[03:04.55]Cannot hold the things I've learned
[03:07.86]Those roads were closed off to me
[03:12.65]Oh those roads were closed off to me
[03:18.80]
[03:19.68]While my back was turned
[03:27.15]
[03:36.87]Oh
[03:45.90]
[03:49.38]If it comes to quick
[03:50.96]
[03:51.93]I may not appreciate it
[03:54.33]
[03:55.90]Is that the reason behind all this time in sand
[04:01.39]
[04:02.81]If it comes to quick
[04:04.70]
[04:05.59]I may not recognize it
[04:08.41]
[04:09.53]Is that the reason behind all this time in sand
