LEELAND *NEW SONG* - Opposite Way

Leeland soundchecking the title track from their new album "opposite way"

living in the same town for all these years
doing the same old thing
hanging with the same crowd
and it's starting to get crippling

you've never felt in place
and you tell yourself it's all okay
but something's different today
you want to run the opposite way

(and it seems like you're locked in a cage
you need to find a way of escape
when everyone's setting the pace
it's okay to run the opposite way)

the father sent his son down
the light of men
the cross he bore was crippling
rejected in his own town
they couldn't see the son was shining

but he knelt in the garden and prayed
father let this cup pass from me
but it's not your will for me to stay
you will for me's the opposite way

(and it seemed like he was locked in a cage
he couldn't find a way of escape
but through the cross he conquered the grave
my Jesus ran the opposite way)

And through the cross he conquered the grave/ Oh, he ran the opposite way
and through the cross he conquered the grave/ so we could run the opposite way


I love this song : ) Hope ya'll enjoy!

WHat an amazing song. Brilliant jam. First verse I relate to so much, and then when they make the parallel to the passion of Christ in the second verse and then the chorus!! wow!! I NEED TO CHECK OUT THEIR OTHER STUFF. HIS SONG IS CLASSIC THOUGH!!

[LEELANDFAN1]

you should check out their stuff... it's great : ) I also love the parallel of christ.

It really brings the song full circle.

I love this song, great meaning.

Can't wait till the CD comes out, I'm so excited

[ilovechipk]

I am just so excited for this CD to come out. Leeland played with Area One at Beulah Beach camp this summer and it was absolutely amazing to get to worship with them every day for a whole week! they all have such wonderful hearts for God. I have been listening to Count Me In constantly since i downloaded it and I just cannot wait until Feb. 26!

Chords VERY easy! B F# G#m E F#

Combination of those, changes in pre-chorus and chorus (I think). That's the chords from the original track anyway.
