Lyrics

I'm ready now, Lord
I know, I weren't no Sunday school mama's boy
But faith is hopin' for somethin'
Believin' what you can't see
I had faith all my life
I wanna ask you somethin'
Is it warm?
Is it soft against your face?
Do you feel a kind of grace
Inside the breeze?
Will there be trees?
Is there light?
Does it hover on the ground?
Does it shine from all around
Or just from you?
Is it endless and empty and you wander on your own?
Slowly forget about the folks that you've known?
Or does risin' bread fill up the air
From open kitchens everywhere?
Familiar faces far as you can see
Like a family?
Do we live?
Is it like a little town?
Do we get to look back down
At who we love?
Are we above?
Are we everywhere?
Are we anywhere at all?
Do we hear a trumpet call us
And we're by your side?
Will I want, will I wish for all the things I shoulda done?
Longing to finish what I only just begun
Or has a shining truth been waiting there
For all the questions everywhere
In a world of wonderin', suddenly you know
And you will always know
Will my mama be there waitin' for me?
Smilin' like the way she does
And holdin' out her arms
And she calls my name
She will hold me just the same
Only heaven knows how glory goes
What each of us was meant to be
In the starlight, that is what we are
I can see so far
