Mother I feel crucified
Can't grin no more, Hell knows I've tried
If I don't make the break of day
Well look for rainbows just the same
Did I ever tell you the joy I've felt
Through all the time and love we've shared
Ma you can't help me anymore
Can't keep the grey wolf from the door
You see the fear
In this anxiousness
That I feel
While my conscience begs
Behind closed doors
And I can't see the light to clear no more
Brother I wish I had know
I missed the trick now you're not home
So many times now I look back
I should have been there across the tracks
Down in the flames of guilt and hell
Beyond the smoke there's starlight still
So until we meet again
I'll send a blaze up in your name
Oh the horror
In this helplessness
That I've felt
While my conscience begged
For somethin' more
Since then don't know my heart to well no more
Ol' mask of shame
That I've worn with pride
Can't be explained
Never justified
But I'm still sure
That I'm so glad we were here at all
Sister let me clear the air
We both know I never did my share
I'm sorry endlessly and more
Hindsight's no benefit at all
But by your grace help my convey
The beauty equal to the pain
Next time the band begin to play
Will you save the last dance for me
To all those friends
That have lost their way
Beneath the weight
Of this great mystery
For feelin' all
This good earth has to give's a heavy call
Ain't no sense to make
But I draw confidence
In how the hurt
Show us we're capable
Of so much love
And in the it's grace will carry us all on home
We were here
One and all
Bold as sunlight
In the dawn
We were here
Bound to fall
I'll see you at the crossroads
Time comes
We were here
Arm in arm
Bright as starlight
In the dark
We were here
Miracles
I guess I'll see you at the crossroads
When the time comes
