The Power And The Glory

This time I offer it all for this
This time I lay myself on the line
You’ve got to know I’d throw myself in
Whole heart and whole mind

Push everything else aside
Pull my next step over my eyes
Bring the future upon myself
Smash it over my head

And I never thought
A night this simple could freeze the hands of time
You’re the only one who can make time stop
So breathe, just breathe
And feel the air that fills the lungs

Cease the thought, just to be
This is the moment I’d always longed for
Here we are, face to face
This is now
I am here and this is now

The power and the glory are yours to take!
I now can comprehend the depths that I withheld
My deepest sympathies for ever pushing you away
But from here we move, we continue forward

This is not the end, this is the beginning
As the future comes like a freight train barreling down the dark tunnel
I see there is no escape hatch
There’s no way out, I can’t turn back, and this time it’s okay

This time I am, this time finally, I am not unnerved
This is learning to hold your breath, this is learning
To swim in a hurricane

This is royalty draped in rags
Draped in the rags of peasants
