Lyrics

[00:04.68] FLOYD:I'm ready now Lord
[00:08.89] I know, I weren't no Sunday school momma's boy
[00:13.66] But faith is hoping for somethin',
[00:16.40] believin' what you can't see
[00:19.46] I had faith all my life.
[00:24.90]
[00:31.01] I wanna ask you something
[00:35.55] Is it warm?
[00:40.12] Is it soft against your face?
[00:44.29] Do you feel a kind of grace inside the breeze?
[00:51.62] Will there be trees?
[00:56.85] Is there light?
[01:01.14] Does it hover on the ground?
[01:05.08] Does it shine from all around or just from you?
[01:16.99] Is it endless and empty and you wander on your own?
[01:25.60] Slowly forget about the folks that you have known?
[01:32.80] Or does risin' bread fill up the air
[01:36.98] From open kitchens everywhere?
[01:41.18] Familiar faces far as you can see,
[01:48.57] like a family?
[01:51:76]
[01:53.11] Do we live?
[01:58.48] Is it like a little town?
[02:02.53] Do we get to look back down at who we love?
[02:09.51] Are we above?
[02:14.41] Are we everywhere?
[02:18.55] Are we anywhere at all?
[02:22.22] Do we hear a trumpet call us and we're by your side?
[02:33.43] Will I want, will I wish
[02:36.80] For all the things I should'a done?
[02:42.00] Longin' to finish what I only just begun
[02:49.25] Or has a shiny truth been waitin' there
[02:53.60] For all the questions ev'rywhere
[02:57.62] In a world of wonderin', suddenly you know
[03:04.43] And you will always know
[03:09.80] Will my mama be there waiting for me?
[03:13.91] Smilin' like the way she does
[03:16.01] And holdin' out her arms
[03:18.40] And she calls my name
[03:24.25] She will hold me just the same
[03:33.09]
[03:36.40] Only Heaven knows how glory goes
[03:41.43] What each of us was meant to be
[03:45.64] In the starlight, that is what we are
[03:56.05] I can see so far.
[04:04.29]
