10,000 Days (Wings Pt 2)

We listen to the tales and romanticize
 How we'd follow the path of the hero
 Boast about the day when the rivers overrun
 How we rise to the height of our halo
 Listen to the tales as we all rationalize
 Our way into the arms of the savior
 Feigning all the trials and the tribulations
 None of us have actually been there
 Not like you
 ♪
 Ignorant siblings in the congregation
 Gather around spewing sympathy
 Spare me
 None of them can even hold a candle up to you
 Blinded by choice, these hypocrites won't see
 But enough about the collective Judas
 Who could deny you were the one who illuminated your little piece of the divine?
 And this little light of mine, a gift you passed on to me
 I'm gonna let it shine to guide you safely on your way
 
 Your way home
 ♪
 Oh, what are they gonna do when the lights go down?
 Without you to guide them all to Zion?
 What are they gonna do when the rivers overrun?
 Other than tremble incessantly?
 High is the way, but all eyes are upon the ground
 You were the light and the way they'll only read about
 I only pray Heaven knows when to lift you out
 10,000 days in the fire is long enough
 You're going home
 ♪
 You're the only one who can hold your head up high
 Shake your fist at the gates, saying
 "I've come home now"
 "Fetch me the spirit, the son and the father"
 "Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended"
 "It's time now, my time now"
 "Give me my, give me my wings"
 ♪
 Give me my
 Give me my
 Give me my
 Give me my
 Give me my wings
 ♪
 You are the light and way that they will only read about
 ♪
 Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance
 Burden of proof tossed upon non-believers
 You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence
 Judith Marie, unconditional one
 ♪
 Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescence
 Difficult to see you in this light
 
 Please forgive this bold suggestion
 Should you see your maker's face tonight
 ♪
 Look him in the eye, look him in the eye, and tell him
 "I never lived a lie, never took a life, but surely saved one"
 "Hallelujah, it's time for you to bring me home"
