Pop-rock group Burlap to Cashmere has released its first album in 13 years, a self-titled effort on Jive Records that is highly anticipated, thanks to the excellent reception its first release, Anybody Out There, received. Other Country is a midtempo track that is rich in folk influences, and with the rich vocals of John Philippidis and Steven Delopoulos, I’m not surprised Other Country is now getting picked up at Christian AC. Give it a listen and tell me if you think it’ll do well.
OTHER COUNTRY Lyrics
Burlap to Cashmere
Your eyes see the shining city
Your love heals the poisoned mind
When the journey ends
There’s a new beginning
When the risen man
Heals the weight of time
I can feel it over the line
I see the other country
I see the other side
Do not be afraid of this earthly city
Do not be afraid when the pharaohs rise
Draw near the lambs awaiting
Where the river runs through the sky’s align
From that painting of a ship
We have all been chosen
To the Painter’s creation
In His dream’s design
I can feel it over the line
I see the other country
I see the other side
Do not be afraid of this earthly city
Do not be afraid when the pharaohs nigh
When I was a child
I walked like a child
But now I’m a soldier
Like the Bride and Groom I will be married
I see the other country
I see the other side
Do not be afraid of this earthly city
Do not be afraid when the pharaohs nigh
Even though I walk thru the valley of the shadow of death
Even though I sink through the ocean
You will rescue me
I am standing in the fire
but I can hear the choir singing
I was a blind man stumbling
But now I see
I was blind, blind blind
But now I see
I was blind, blind blind
But now I see
