One Child |
| 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 a… |
| 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… |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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) |
| (simultaneously) / = where stanza 1 lines begin in comparison to other stanzas |
| We’re on our own |
| We’re on our own |
| We’re on our own |
| We’re on our… |
| If you still want me to |
| Tell me the Pilate’s died |
| We have nothing left except tomorrow |
| While you only offer mindless visions |
| 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 a… |
| 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 |
