My take on it....... I love this song. So touching.

listen to the tales and romanticize
how we follow the path of the hero
boast about the day when the rivers overrun
how we rise to the height of our halo

listen to the tales as we all rationalize
Our way into the arms of the savior
fading all the trials and the tribulations
none of us have actually been there
not like you

ignorant fibbers in the congregation,
gather around spewing sympathy,
spare me,
none of them can even hold a candle up to you
blinded by choices hyppocrites wont seek,

but not for the collective judas,
who could deny you were the one who would have made it,
your little piece of the divine,

this little light of mine
it gives your past unto me
i'm going to let it shine
to guide you safely on your way
your way home...

what are they going to do when the lights go down
without you to guide them all to zion?
what are they gonna do when the rivers overrun
other than tremble incessantly ?

high as a wave but ill rise on up off the ground
you were the light and the way
they'll only read about
I only pray heaven knows
when to lift you out
10000 days in the fire is long enough
you're going home

you're the only one who can hold your head up high
shake your fist at the gates sayin'
"i have come home now fetch me the spirit, the son and the father,
tell them their pillar of faith has ascended
"its time now, my time now, give me my, give me my wings!"

"give me my, give me my, give me my, give me my, give me my wings...."

you are the light, the way, that they will only read about

set as i am in my ways and my arrogance
burnin all through tossed upon the believers
you were my witness, my eyes, my evidence
Judith Marie, unconditional one

daylight dims, leaving cold flouresence
difficult to see you in this light
please forgive this, bold suggestion
should you see your maker's face tonight
look em in the eye, look em in the eye, and tell em
i never lived a lie, never took a life, but surely saved one
hallelujah, its time for you to bring me home...
