lyrics

It’s been a while since I could see.
I turned my head ‘til you were gone.
& now I find it’s hard to speak
But I’ve only got one call.
& I’m hoping your words can free me
Like you have before, please save me.

Sand fills my feet,
I face a loud and angry crowd
Inside my chest, a heart still beats
Though it feels like I have drowned
And your words have me hung like a jury
Oh, until my dying day, you’ll be the judge of me

Have I been shut in? Or will I be free to go?
I’m guilty of the crime, already sitting on death row
And it’s not just fresh air I am missing here today,
So with these last moments, just stay with me, I pray

That I’ll do better next time,
If I can get you off my mind
& I see it is divine,
Whether yours or mine, and Your Honor
Grant me my freedom, or my memories
Until my dying day, you’ll be the judge of me

Lay my body down, deep in the frozen ground
Where I’ll be lost and never found,
nor ever make another sound
And what is it you will say When you meet me at the gates?
Lord, until my dying day, you’ll be the judge of me
