Tool: Wings for Marie (Part 2)

Listen to the tales and romanticizeHow we follow the path of the heroBoast about the day when the rivers overrunHow we rise to the height of our haloListen to the tales as we all rationalizeOur way into the arms of the saviorFading all the trials and the tribulationsNone of us have actually been thereNot like youIgnorant flippants in the congregationGather around spewing sympathySpare meNone of them can even hold a candle up to youBlinded by choices hipocrits won't seeBut enough about the collective JudasWho could deny you were the one who illuminatedYour little piece of the divineThis little light of mine a gift you passed onto meI'm gonna let it shine to guide you safely on your wayYour way homeWhat are they going to do when the lights go downWithout you to guide them all to Zion?What are they going to do when the rivers overrunOther than tremble incessantly?High is the way, but our eyes are upon the ground.You are the light and the way, they'll only read about.I only pray heaven knows when to lift you out.Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough, you're going home.You're the only one who can hold your head up highShake your fists at the gates saying:"I have come home now!Fetch me the spirit, the son, and the fatherTell them their pillar of faith has ascended.It's time nowMy time nowGive 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 arroganceBurden of proof tossed upon "non-believers" (THE believers)You were my witnessMy eyes, my evidenceJudith MarieUnconditional one.Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescenceDifficult to see you in this lightPlease forgive this bold suggestion:Should you see your Maker's face tonightLook Him in the eyeLook Him in the eye and tell Him:"I never lived a lie, never took a life, but surely saved oneHallelujah, its time for you to bring me home"
