We were thirteen deep below the earth,
|
When we saw the fatal light.
|
A mighty blast of fire shook-us
|
All and one to flight.
|
For those of us still able,
|
We moved to safer ground.
|
The air was getting thinner,
|
As we heard the crumbling sound.
|
Heard the crumbling sound.
|
|
We made peace with our creator,
|
Each in his own way.
|
Some wrote notes to family,
|
While others sat to pray.
|
Time has moved so slowly,
|
Who will hear our plight?
|
As we sat there in the darkness,
|
Prepared for our last fight.
|
Fighting for our life.
|
|
We're waiting for a miracle,
|
To see the light of day.
|
It won't be long before we're found
|
And we'll be on our way.
|
|
One by one among us,
|
Would swear to see daylight.
|
Exclaiming that they've found us
|
And soon we'd be alright.
|
It finally dawned upon me,
|
That they truly saw the light.
|
Not the one expected,
|
But one to end their fight.
|
One to end their fight.
|
|
Each one settled gently
|
In hopes that were untrue.
|
Frozen in expression,
|
With thoughts of our rescue.
|
Now I am the last one,
|
Waiting for the light.
|
My eyes are growing heavy,
|
I'm about to lose my sight.
|
About to lose my sight.
|
|
Like the others here around me,
|
I believe I see the light.
|
When a surge of air surrounds me
|
I feel I've lost the fight.
|
A rush of saviors enter
|
And I too see daylight.
|
I'm coming with you brothers,
|
Cause I too see the light.
|
Cause I too see the light.
|
|
We're waiting for a miracle,
|
To see the light of day.
|
It won't be long before we're found
|
And we'll be on our way.
