One Child

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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— [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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— [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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?
