Lyrics

Intro - 
"Fire of God," Rev. Dan Gregg, First Assemblies of God Church, Mercer Missouri, Oct 18 1978


And then comes the phone call
You never wanted to get
It said Jesus is coming and his plane lands at seven
He’s coming back to take your grandfather home

And then comes the sadness
You’ll never soon forget
And it turns out your inside makes you cry without making sound
Screaming to heaven as tears roll

Down we go
That unmarked desert road
With no signs to guide our way
It feels like
A hellbound motorcade
But tomorrow will be

Dear John conversation
You saw coming long ago
Even before the local news at eleven
Covered the story like they were the first to know

The end of a romance
You fought with breath and bone
To make fit the square peg like those blue jeans from high school
They never were meant to fit you like a 

Love so strong
The weight of all the world
Comes crashing down on your heart
What went wrong
You worked so hard to save
But tomorrow will be

Your graduation day
It’s graduation day
So let’s graduate

Talking 'til midnight
When blood is alcohol
We're telling the stories but the last page is ripped out
We'll write in the ending when the timing is right

I gave my confession to someone else who cared
But he billed by the hour
Told me that I'm not crazy
And one day he said "I think our work here is done"

So now go
Out into all the world
And shine all the light you have found
Inside you
Don't hide it underground
And tomorrow will be

Your graduation day
It’s graduation day
