One child stood before the altar

One child stood out in the rain

One child spent his time imagining

And I don't believe he's coming home again, home again, home a...

(chorus)
6
Right there in the earth, I've been drawing a line
7
I'm digging it deep, don't know if I'll find
8
A tunnel out so we all can be saved
9
If not, just take this earth and bury me, for this will be my grave

One child hid inside the darkness

20
I will believe in you
21
If you still want me to
22
Or tell me I'm on my own
23
There on the other side
24
Tell me the Pilate's died
25
And we're no longer alone
26
(bridge)
27
Take your answers and your promises, believe me I don't care
28

What good are your promises if you can always take them back?
30
Still, I hang on every word till my hands are bleeding
31
(coda)
32
I will believe in you
33
If you still want me to

There on the other side
36
Tell me the Pilate's died
37
And we're no longer alone
38
(simultaneously)
39
I will believe in you We had no choice but to stay and follow
40
If you still want me to We have nothing left except tomorrow
41
Or tell me I'm on my own We have nothing left except what will be
42
There on the other side What we need here are some real decisions
43
Tell me the Pilate's died While you only offer mindless visions
44
And we're no longer alone Visions that nobody else here can see
