lyrics

my first breath the first step toward immortality
the second step escaping the second death
like a play in the big game with only seconds left
the past can't intercept the future formality
before the emcee the beat was made fresh
the crowd blessed as the Word was made flesh
the creator and mediator of the new covenant
in him was life and the life was the light of man
and we can shine because of it
3 magnitudes of luminosity to choose
part carbon, part heart, part philosophy
started hard-hearted the hardest part sparked my curiosity
how could 6 days equal 15 billion years?
how could rising mist equal 6 billion children here?
its becoming clear, consider relativity
consider eternal life, consider captivity
envisioned vividly - the imagery of an artist
parting light and darkness in the 11th hour harvest
stardust is breathing there’s gotta be a reason
all receive the light is his own time in his season
since the garden was seeded eastward in eden
life is half what you make it, half what you believe in

these poems sown in weakness, raised in power
phoned home, promised to be home by the final hour
the fog rolls vision limited
darkness inhibiting making my way by faded street lights
holdin on, going on through sour days and sweet nights
these scarred knuckles mark some pretty sweet fights
protection of freedom what it amounts to
hearken the deception or hearken the counsel
a third ignored the warning, woke up with the son of the morning
by afternoon began the swoon it happened soon
the eternal atrocity, terminal velocity intact
no parachute can soften the impact
(ouch) that’s gotta smart
if you had a body that would probably leave a mark
the children of light fight through the dark
these arcs of life just part of a perfect circle that ends where it starts

these are the generations of hope
hoping a generation is relating to the pages that I quote
hope in the promise made that we know wont be broken
hope in the atonement now and when the heavens open
many are called few are chosen - few choose to the answer the call
let it ring off the hook but to let us off the hook one answered them all
and that bond will never cease - the bond of perfectness and peace
every ear shall hear, every knee shall bow
every tongue shall confess, I know the purpose now
I know the rationale, know what this life is all about
shouting from rooftops, boomboxes loud
we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed
the trumpet sounds, things around here will never be the same
the day we wake and we can say we made it
then the dust returns to the earth and the spirit unto God who gave it
