Counting On
John Mark McMillan
Verse 1
When the night stops pushing up the day
When the miles drop me on the open planes
When I’ve lost grace with the lady of the dawn
You’re what I’m counting on
You’re what I’m counting on
Verse 2
When the hounds run track me in my sleep
When I can’t trust the company I keep
When I’ve pushed past the point of pressing on
You’re what I’m counting on
You’re what I’m counting on
Chorus
I’m throwing stones up at your window
I’m casting shadows upon your door
Verse 3
When the bombs break right outside my door
And I can’t shake the onset of my wars
When the stakes are raised
We hold the hand we’ve drawn
You’re what I’m counting
