ok one more
Racing toward salvation
We are spinning in the dust
Thousands of traded dreams
And promises stomped
Tripped over along the way
For something that felt better
Shined brighter in that moment
Now digging them out of trunks
Blowing off the dirt
And years
Polishing them up for something
Bigger
Something heavier than this
Presented like a wilting fistful of flowers
On a Mother’s Day long ago
Please let it be good enough
Father save me
Please let me in
I’m a member, I swear
Please don’t turn me away
Now let us pray
And hope it counts
I’ll be better next time
Sacrifice burns but the fear
Of damnation is acid
To the trembling soul
Of the lost
We are spinning in the dust
Thousands of traded dreams
And promises stomped
Tripped over along the way
For something that felt better
Shined brighter in that moment
Now digging them out of trunks
Blowing off the dirt
And years
Polishing them up for something
Bigger
Something heavier than this
Presented like a wilting fistful of flowers
On a Mother’s Day long ago
Please let it be good enough
Father save me
Please let me in
I’m a member, I swear
Please don’t turn me away
Now let us pray
And hope it counts
I’ll be better next time
Sacrifice burns but the fear
Of damnation is acid
To the trembling soul
Of the lost
