Lost The Sky Again

Like a crimminal guilty on all counts
Rattling his cage
With every ounce of resolve he never had
I was convicted

Then I took the pardon and the walls came down
But I must like it here
'Cause I keep hanging around for a better suit
And an escort, and a winning lottery ticket

First we waited for miracles
Then we needed a sign
Now we're here to confess
We've wasted the time

Every blade will wither and fade
As the old man dies again
Season pass, we're clinging to grass
'Cause we've lost the sky again

Like a woman trying to give birth
She strains, she labors, she's not sure if
It's worth the suffering, as she wonders, how long?

When I first heard the rumor you were coming back
I confess my impatience
I guess I lost track of what I'm to persevere for
Of the reason you put me here for

Back then it was any day now
Never dreamed we were wrong
Now we're shaking our heads, wondering, how long?

Every blade
I feel a moment of your perfect love
I catch a glimmer of your sweet grace
But it only makes me long for the day
When I look full in your face
