Lost the Sky Again

[Verse 1]
Like a crimminal guilty on all counts,
rattling his cage with every ounce
Of resolve he never had. . . I was convicted
Then I took the pardon And the walls came down
But I must like it here Cause I keep hanging around
For a better suit, and an escort
And a winning lottery ticket

[Pre-Chorus 1]
First we waited for miracles
Then we needed a sign
Now we're here to confess
We've wasted the time
But I know, I know, I know, I know that

[Chorus 1]
Every blade will wither and fade
As the old man dies again
Seasons pass, we're clinging to grass
'Cause we've lost the sky again

[Verse 2]
Like a woman trying to give birth
She strains, she labors
She's not sure if it's worth the suffering
As she wonders, "How long?"
When I first heard the rumor You were coming back
I confess my impatience I guess I lost track of what
I'm to persevere for
Of the reason you put me here for

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Remember when it was any day now?
Never dreamed we were wrong
Now we're shaking our heads
Wondering, "how long?"
But I know, I know, I know, I know that

[Chorus 2]
[Interlude]

[Bridge]
I feel a moment of your perfect love
I catch a glimmer of your sweet grace
But it only makes me long for the day
When I'll look full in your face

[Chorus 3 2x]
