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


Ignorant fibbers in the congregation
Gather around spewing sympathy, spare me

None of them could even hold a candle up to you
Blinded by choices hypocrites won't seek
But enough about the collective Judas

Who could deny you were the one
Who would have made it?
You'll have a piece of the divine

This little light of mine
The gift you passed on to 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 as a wave,

But I'll rise on up off the ground
You are the light and the way
They'll 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 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 all non-believers
You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence
Judith Marie, unconditional one


Daylight dims leaving cool fluorescence
Difficult to see you in this light

Please forgive this bold suggestion
Should you see your maker's face tonight
Look 'em in the eye

Look 'em in the eye and tell 'em
I never lived a lie, never took a life
But surely saved one, hallejullah

It's time for you to bring me home
