Small Crack

Twenty-five to life for a crime that I didn't commit
 Stone walls and train whistles out in the wind
 One night I dreamt of a call from the world outside
 When I woke up in the morning, there was a glimmering light
 There's a small crack, yeah, it's true
 But it's gonna be a while before we make it through
 There's a small crack, yeah, it's true
 But it's gonna be a while before we break on through
 So I start singing every night up to the sky before bed
 Praying to the Lord that no one hears what I said
 With the first stone loose, and the second now on it's way
 Just might see the open sky someday
 There's a small crack, yeah, it's true
 But it's gonna be a while before we make it through
 There's a small crack, yeah, it's true
 But it's gonna be a while before we break on through
 So it broke right open, like the Red Sea parting away
 Stuck my head out, heard the birds, saw clouds, sun on my face
 Not more than a mile, sky opened up, the sirens blazed
 Wasn't long before the dogs dug their teeth right into my leg
 There's a small crack, yeah, it's true
 But it's gonna be a while before we make it through
 There's a small crack, yeah, it's true
 But it's gonna be a while before we break on through
 Twenty-five to life, turned to hanging by the end of the day
 As the knot got tighter, the sky got brighter anyway
 Clouds cracked open, and a light shines down on me
 As I floated up to touch it, I couldn't stop singing this praise
 There's a small crack, yeah, it's true
 But it's gonna be a while before we make it through
 There's a small crack, yeah, it's true
 But it's gonna be a while before we break on through
 There's a small crack, yeah, it's true
 But it's gonna be a while before we make it through
 There's a small crack, yeah, it's true
 But it's gonna be a while before we make
 And it's gonna be a while before we break
 Yeah, it's gonna be a while before we break on through
