Held Up |
I’ve been dreaming of the day of judgment |
Wondering what I’ll say |
For the seasons I lost to sorrow |
The sin of my wasted days |
For the beauty I should have noticed |
The kindness I did not give |
The bounty I took for granted |
The life that I could have lived |
Held up at the gates of heaven |
Held up before the light |
Stretched out ‘til i was transparent |
There was nowhere i could hide |
The preacher he talks of glory |
Of streets to be paved in gold |
He’s got a book and he’s got a story |
And we all have heard it told |
Well I wonder how he came to thinking |
That he’s speaking for the one above |
‘Cause the only rule I know is true |
There’s no limit to the reach of love |
No Limit to the reach of love |
Held up at the gates of heaven |
Held up before the light |
Stretched out ‘til i was transparent |
There was nowhere i could hide |
Sent back to the living world |
I’ve got so much more to learn |
Everybody makes the same mistakes |
Everybody takes their turn |
How can you sit in judgment |
How do you cast that stone |
When everybody here’s a sinner |
And everybody feels alone |
Brother you aren’t so broken |
Sister you ain’t so small |
Everybody leaves together |
Or nobody goes at all |
Held up at the gates of heaven |
Held up before the light |
Stretched out till i was transparent |
There was nothing i could hide |
Sent back to the living world |
I’ve got so much more to learn |
Everybody makes the same mistakes |
Everybody takes their turn |
Everybody makes the same mistakes |
And everybody takes their turn |
