Here I am Standing in the open Unguarded, yet unafraid The world is softened through the veil of tears I've cried Over what's been done, and what's been said What will your reaction be? Will you close your eyes, turn away from me? Do you sense my surprise at the touch of your hand Here I stand Under old familiar branches Sighing leaves bid welcome to straying feet It is good here. how could I have left How could you have waited so patiently Softly I can hear you calling I dash to unlock the doors one by one With hurried hands I throw open the gates To allow you in, to make room for the Son In the silence of the night I call you Underneath the shelter of a warm summer sky Waiting to see my reflection, in your eyes I have wings and I am speeding through the heavens Unencumbered by a hollow, token life There is nothing, there is no one, left to accuse me I bid farewell to this spinning dying world You and I with our entourage of angels Stroll past the mansions in this good place I reach out with innocent hands To touch your face
