"Going Up In Flames" lyrics

"Going Up In Flames"

It's swelling up again in my heart and I can't face it
Or send it back out in the dark like I have before
So I raise my voice at God
Tell me what's your problem?
And I brace for holy thunder down on my knees
But still there's nothing

Father, I am up waiting on your favor
While the hills here are going up, going up in flames
Father, I am up waiting on your favor
While the hills here are going up, going up in flames
And I don't know who to blame

I can't find you in the clouds like when I was younger
And the air that I am breathing now is mostly smoke
And it fills my mind with doubt
Did you ever love me?
And I wait for you to come and help me breathe
But still there's nothing

So father, I am up waiting on your favor
While the hills here are going up, going up in flames
Father, I am up waiting on your favor
While the hills here are going up, going up in flames
And I don't know who to blame

Know that I see you here without light
Know that I hurt beside you but in time with opened eyes
You will see every line proving my love divine

Father, I am up waiting in your favor
While the hills here are going up, going up in flames
Father, I am up waiting in your favor
While the hills here are going up, going up in flames
And I'll keep calling your name
