Holes in his cage looking nowhere for what he wants the most Precious daylight comes and goes In silence they wait, holding candles as she prays for a sign Will they set him free tonight? Will she have him back? Like the Son of God Home from the war To embrace the love he was fighting for The only thing that would keep him going on Safe by the hopes of every friend in a secret place of trust To be be found for all of us And shines in the eyes of every child Wondering what would heaven send To be the first sign of the end Of the longest night When the New World comes, eternal love Calls my name when the world is sleeping Love, love eternal To light the stars of a thousand skies Love, love eternal To crash the gates of a million cities Love, love eternal To build a bridge of a thousand miles Love, love eternal
