How Have We Come This Far - Lyrics - Wavorly

Wavorly formed in 2001 under the name Freshmen 15, and independently released two albums under this name. The group changed its name after signing to Flicker Records because they "didn't want to be thirty years old and be like, 'I'm in "Freshmen 15". I have three kids.'" The name Wavorly comes from a haunted mansion in West Point, Mississippi. Their major label debut, Conquering the Fear of Flight, was released on Flicker on June 12, 2007, and has lyrics significantly influenced by the writings of C. S. Lewis.

In the beginning when all this was something new I was younger They say when you're older you have it figured out Did I take it for granted? How do you see right through my falters? Turning around was never so hard Until I found us far apart Turning it over I'm left to wonder How've we come this far Now, how've we come this far? Hands that are reaching To a world that's turned away from You Truth that is sobering Your love will never cease finding the lost ones Letting go of all my pain Falling down is oh, so hard I am torn, I am bruised Finding grace in every scar I am whole, I am new
