The Warning by Jordan Page Lyrics
I’m afraid I’ll stop believing at the moment of my death
Let the feeling come, my senses numb, betraying my last breath
I’m afraid I’ll terrify the world with words to rip the seams
On Earth as it is in Heaven holds the weight of heavy, heavy dreams
Let your eyes see me today, voices teaching
& Come alive with the words you were meant to say
The experience is enough to know
I hold on to the hand that lifts my head up when I’m drowning
All these fears are blinding but greater is my gift of sight
I’m afraid of institutions and the miracles I’ve seen
I’m afraid of all the time I’ve lost and the man I might have been
I’m afraid you’ll see my sins in the dark circles of my eyes
With no pretense or prejudice I offer to you my disguise
Let your eyes see me today, voices teaching
And Come alive with the words you were meant to say
The experience is enough to know
I hold on to the hand that lifts my head up when I’m drowning
All these fears are blinding but greater is my gift of sight
You were just a horizon, somebody’s dream in the distance
Falling asleep at the wheel of decision
You persecute poets then quote from their wisdom
You have to deliver these tidings spoken with breath born in love
So grace us with beauty and grant us our tragedy, majesty
As we lie down with roses to plant for the fall
The pleasantries are over, there are voices on the air
& a thousand faces laughing loud have climbed the broken stairs
We set ourselves against the bite of teeth we cannot see
Thy Kingdom Come, my course be run, and let their metal enter me
Let your eyes see me today, voices teaching
And Come alive with the words you were meant to say
The experience is enough to know
We are all just horizons living like dreams in the distance
Falling asleep and the wheel isn’t spinning
Our poets are shaking the bars of their prisons
You don’t have to suffer these warnings
The signs have all been very clear
You don’t understand all that has happened here
So don’t sacrifice God on your altar of fear
Let the feeling come, my senses numb, betraying my last breath
I’m afraid I’ll terrify the world with words to rip the seams
On Earth as it is in Heaven holds the weight of heavy, heavy dreams
Let your eyes see me today, voices teaching
& Come alive with the words you were meant to say
The experience is enough to know
I hold on to the hand that lifts my head up when I’m drowning
All these fears are blinding but greater is my gift of sight
I’m afraid of institutions and the miracles I’ve seen
I’m afraid of all the time I’ve lost and the man I might have been
I’m afraid you’ll see my sins in the dark circles of my eyes
With no pretense or prejudice I offer to you my disguise
Let your eyes see me today, voices teaching
And Come alive with the words you were meant to say
The experience is enough to know
I hold on to the hand that lifts my head up when I’m drowning
All these fears are blinding but greater is my gift of sight
You were just a horizon, somebody’s dream in the distance
Falling asleep at the wheel of decision
You persecute poets then quote from their wisdom
You have to deliver these tidings spoken with breath born in love
So grace us with beauty and grant us our tragedy, majesty
As we lie down with roses to plant for the fall
The pleasantries are over, there are voices on the air
& a thousand faces laughing loud have climbed the broken stairs
We set ourselves against the bite of teeth we cannot see
Thy Kingdom Come, my course be run, and let their metal enter me
Let your eyes see me today, voices teaching
And Come alive with the words you were meant to say
The experience is enough to know
We are all just horizons living like dreams in the distance
Falling asleep and the wheel isn’t spinning
Our poets are shaking the bars of their prisons
You don’t have to suffer these warnings
The signs have all been very clear
You don’t understand all that has happened here
So don’t sacrifice God on your altar of fear
