Listen to the tales and romanticize
|
How we follow the path of the hero
|
Boast about the day when the rivers overrun
|
How we'll rise to the height of our halo
|
|
Listen to the tales as we all rationalize
|
Our way into the arms of the savior
|
Feigning all the trials and the tribulations
|
None of us have actually been there
|
Not like you
|
|
Ignorant flippants in the congregation
|
Gather around spewing sympathy
|
Spare me
|
None of them can even hold a candle up to you
|
Blinded by choice, hypocrites won't see
|
|
But enough about the collective Judas
|
Who could deny you were the one who illuminated
|
Your little piece of the divine
|
|
this little light of mine
|
a gift you passed unto me
|
i'm gonna let it shine
|
To guide you safely on your way
|
Your way home
|
|
What are they gonna' do when the lights go down
|
Without you guide them all to Zion
|
What are they gonna' do when the rivers overrun
|
Other than tremble incessantly
|
|
High is the way but our eyes are upon the ground
|
You are the light and the way that they will only read about
|
I only pray, heaven knows when to lift you out
|
Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough
|
You're going home
|
|
You're the only one who can hold your head up high
|
Shake your fist at the gates saying:
|
|
I've come home now
|
Fetch me the spirit
|
The son, and the father
|
Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended
|
It's time now, my time now
|
Give me my, give me my wings
|
|
Give me my (x7)
|
Give me my wings
|
|
You are the light and the way
|
That they will only read about
|
|
Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance
|
Burden of proof tossed upon the believers
|
You were my witness
|
My eyes, my evidence
|
Judith Marie, unconditional one
|
|
Daylight dims
|
Leaving cold fluorescents
|
Difficult to see you in this light
|
Please forgive this bold suggestion
|
Should you see your maker's face tonight
|
Look him in the eye
|
Look him in the eye, and tell him
|
i never lived a lie, never took a life
|
But surely saved one, hallelujah
|
it's time for you to bring me home
|
