| [03:12.62] | So you're standin' in the tunnel of eternal life |
| [03:15.49] | And you see the ones you never learned to love in life |
| [03:18.52] | Make the choice let it go and you can back it up |
| [03:21.46] | If you ain't at peace with God you need to patch it up |
| [03:24.49] | But if you're ready close your eyes and we can set it free |
