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)
