|
as the daylight is breaking |
|
the chosen ones so quietly gather |
|
no one's faith is shaking |
|
their vision lies beyond |
|
strangely mantled in silence |
|
a grand parade of lives completed |
|
faith alone gives them guidance |
|
to find their journey home |
|
send the last ship home |
|
send the faithful home |
|
with the first golden blazes |
|
they leave for their eternal voyage |
|
and the lines in their faces |
|
reflect the fiery skies |
|
as the last ship is leaving |
|
i see my father gently waving |
|
clutching all i believe in |
|
i whisper my farewell |
|
send the last ship home |
|
send the faithful home |
