Wings part II

We 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
Fading all the trials and the tribulations

None of us have actually been there
Not like you..

The ignorant fibbers in the congregation
Gather around spewing sympathy
Spare me..

None of them can even hold a candle up to you
Blinded by choices
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 it gives your past unto me
I'm gonna let it shine
to guide you safely on your way

Your way home..

Oh, what are they gonna do when the lights go down?
Without you to 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
They'll only read about
I only pray heaven knows
when to lift you out

10,000 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 have 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!

You are the light, the way
that they will only read about

Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance
Burden of proof tossed upon non-believers
You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence
Judith Marie, unconditional one

Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescence
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
