Lyrics

Saw a vision standing on an empty stage
Though I wondered - I could not turn to go
Saw a mission standing, from another age
A voice that thundered and said it's time you know

Sit down - close your eyes
Pray now, lay down, pray loud all your life

I will carry the One in the name of the Son 
if you will not kill me tonight
What I'm fighting for cannot be ignored

Read me like a bible -
can I talk to you awhile 
Can I help you with something you can't explain
See you're like a child -
something pure but somewhat wild
Can I help you with that something in your brain

In my vision was me - at a younger age
Something hungry without all that I know
Saw my mother standing - from another stage
She said, "You wonder, but now it's time we go."

Lay down - all your life
Pray now, lay down, pray loud
all your life

I will carry the One in the name of the Son
just before I kill me tonight
What I'm dying for cannot be explored
