One child stood before the altar
One child stood out in the rain
One child spent his time imagining

And I don't believe he's coming home again, home again, home

[chorus]
Right there in the earth, I've been drawing a line
I'm digging it deep, don't know if I'll find

A tunnel out so we all can be saved
If not, just take this earth and bury me, for this will be my
grave


One child hid inside the darkness
One child never said a thing

One child closed his eyes and disappeared
But at night I still can hear him whispering, whispering,
whisper...


[chorus]
Right there in the earth, I've been drawing a line

I'm digging it deep, don't know if I'll find
A tunnel out so we all can be saved
If not, just take this earth and bury me, for this will be my

grave

[lead break/coda]

I will believe in you
If you still want me to
Or tell me I'm on my own

There on the other side
Tell me the Pilate's died
And we're no longer alone


[bridge]
Take your answers and your promises, believe me I don't care

I have held on to your words until I found them only air
What good are your promises if you can always take them back?
Still, I hang on every word till my hands are bleeding


[coda]
I will believe in you

If you still want me to
Or tell me I'm on my own
There on the other side

Tell me the Pilate's died
And we're no longer alone


[simultaneously]

I will believe in you

We had no choice but to stay and follow
If you still want me to
We have nothing left except tomorrow

Or tell me I'm on my own
We have nothing left except what will be
There on the other side

What we need here are some real decisions
Tell me the Pilate's died
While you only offer mindless visions

And we're no longer alone
Visions that nobody else here can see
