Wings

You believed
You believed in moments none could see
You believed in me

A passionate spirit
Uncompromise
Found us un-open
A light in your eye
In my old eyes

Broken...so broken
Fell at the hands of those who once
Said I'd lost you who prayed for me so
What have I done to be the son...of an angel
What have I done to be worthy

Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescence
Difficult to see you in this light
Please forgive this selfish question but
What am I to say to all these ghouls tonight

She never told a lie!
Well...might've told a lie...
But NEVER lived one!
Didn't have a life...
But surely saved one

See? I'm alright, now it's time for us to let you go.

Listen to the tales and romanticize
How we follow the path of the hero
Boast about the day when the rivers overrun
How we rise to the height of our halo

Listen to the tales as we all rationalize
Our way into the arms of a Savior
Feigning all the trials and the tribulations
None of us have actually been there...
Not like you
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
You'll have a piece of the divine

This little light of mine
A gift you passed on to me
I'm gonna let it shine
To guide you safely on your way home

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 now...

You're the only one who can hold your head up high
Shake your fists at the gate 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 WINGS!!!""

You will look him in the eye and tell him
""I never lived a lie, never took a life, but surely saved one
It's time for you to bring me home""
GIVE ME MY WINGS!
