    Lyrics:
    The smartest men, they built a rocket
    Aimed it at a target far, far, far away
    But by the time they knew they lost it
    It was a long way, was a long way, was a long way
    We're a long way, we're a long way, we're a long way off
    The smartest men, they saw a world with
    Corners and endings far, far, far away
    But when they drew it out and searched it
    They were a long way, were a long way, were a long way
    We're a long way, we're a long way, we're a long way
    The erudite composed a thesis
    Everything we see is all, all, all there is
    But as an apophatic mystic
    We're a long way, we're a long way, we're a long way
    We're a long way, we're a long way, we're a long way off
    When the waves of time
    Wash the shores stark clean
    Of the memories, the last of me
    With my castles gone to the constant sea
    Will you stay with me
    Stay with me

    A video about Michael Gungor's exercise routine.

    Love this song. I like how even though the verses are about how we don't really have God "figured out" as much as we often boast, the end is a beautiful prayer about rest and peace. Two different types of openness.

    This music video reminds me of Plato's cave analogy - he's in a tunnel with only the shadows of trees then finally comes out into the sunlight and sees the real, beautiful world that God created. It's not explicitly religious, but it's saying that our naturalistic view of life is a long way off - and what's implied is that we live in a teleological universe with a beautiful God. Love it.

      Thanks! I love Gungor. It's poetic music - and very fun to analyze.

    A lot of people seem to be confused if these songs are religious or not. I can't speak to that (I didn't write them) but I can say with full confidence you can be an artist and glorify god by creating all kinds of music. (It doesn't have to be religious in meaning) just like other professions in life can be used to glorify God. Just had to put that out there. LOVE THIS SONG BY THE WAY.

      THANK YOU! Just because a song doesn't say "jesus" or "god" or anything that is technically "religious" doesn't mean it can't glorify god. I hate this huge gap between secular and sacred. God made this world and the people in it. God is bigger than our religious terms and the walls we put up.

    This video reminds me so much of Rich Mullins writings about ... invisible things.
    And there are invisible things. Like the light behind the earth that casts a shadow of it, a shadow we call night... like the sap that runs with some wildness of life in the veins of trees that we see as dead... like the impulse behind the act... like the silence inaudible behind the noise...
    Like all the beyond - too great to be fit into the lenses of our high-powered telescopes and microscopes, as close to us as the ocean is to fish, too present to be discovered (or even discoverable), a thing of which we are a part and apart from which we cannot be ourselves - invisible things...
    Rich Mullins

    The thing I hate the most about this video is that it's a shorter radio edit. Other than that, it's not a long way off from perfection.

    I think there might be some symbolism behind him wearing glasses and a book at the beginning and having them off at the end. I think it alludes to the "smartest men" but i don't know why he would take them off... :/
