besieged by liberty
i pass through you
a slave of apathy
i bottle my tears in silver flasks
as rain for the nation
as rain for the nation
when i see your face
when you finally come
and you wrap your arms around me
when i see your face
and you call me son
oh, to see that day
when i see your face
and all the years of failing pass away
when i see your face why not today?
this joy is leaving me
raven fed, consumed, and resting
afraid to see
i follow my fears on darkened paths
Lord, i'm waiting for your rain to come
i'm waiting for the rain
when i see your face
when you finally come
and you wrap your arms around me
when i see your face
and you call me son
oh, to see that day
when i see your face
and all the years of failing pass away
when i see your face why not today?
when i see your face
when you finally come
and you wrap your arms around me
when i see your face
and you call me son and you say "well done..."
oh
when i see your face
and all the years of failing pass away
when i see your face why not today?
