Bitterness is a fault line
Envy's a golden calf
Idols break when it all shakes down
And split your heart in half
You weep you sweep up the pieces
It's your home, you take pride
But once it's clean and empty
My Lord is calling you outside
I lift up my eyes, turn to the sun
This is where my help's coming from
In the heights or the battle
You're my Sun, my Shield
And if the sun can blind you
And if a shield means war
And if you give up before you get up
What were you praying for?
The future's an open window
Set in cornerstone
Wash off the ash, raise up the banner
This is your true home
I lift up my eyes, turn to the sun
This is where my help's coming from
In the heights or the battle
You're my Sun, my Shield 2x
(sung during the bridge and twice before:)
Oooooooooooooh (my Sun, my Sun, my Shield)
Calling you outside
Open your eyes
Calling you outside
Open your eyes
So lift up your eyes, turn to the sun
This is where all help's coming from
In the heights or the battlefield
He's our Sun, our Shield
I lift up my eyes, turn to the sun
This is where my help's coming from
In the heights or the battlefield
You're my Sun, my Shield
You're my Sun, my Shield
You're my Sun, my Shield
You're my Sun, my Shield
