God can promise a safe landing
But can't promise a steady voyage
Oh my son, what do you hear?
Why does your heart take you into the night?
Listen as we cry ourselves, we cry ourselves to sleep
We haven't slept for days, we haven't slept a wink
Our boy is somewhere else, our boy is somewhere else
He does the devil's work, he sings his praises week by week but
God can promise a safe landing
But can't promise a steady voyage
O'er the hills and into the depths
And from the depths the devil leapt
He clung onto the landing gear
And drove us toward eternal fear
In my dreams we're falling, ducking, spinning, diving
Life; it isn't living when it's just surviving
Hope isn't worth hoping for when all we have is falling from the sky
