The Felix Culpa - New Home Life lyrics

To we, the nearly departed When we leave this world behind Will we look back on the mess we left Of what was then our lives Or will we carry on with songs whose words Absolve us of ourselves With golden wings and silver tongues To bring us somewhere else That we like better And maybe this time I'll know better And maybe this time I'll know better When we are nearly departed Will our steps then be retraced In a vain attempt to reconcile Our plans with what took place There's still an angel and an astronaut Waiting for their chance To go and take their vows and live The life that they had planned And live it better And maybe next time I'll know better And maybe next time I'll know better And maybe next time I'll know better Cause it's already now and never And I am still believing That the homes we build have meaning And the seeds we plant, they mean nothing If we don't wait til morning And I am still believing In a love that's never failing And we will see this dawn coming If we just wait til morning Won't you wait with me I watch for you in clouds and fire I listen for your song in leaves and feather My rest will be unrest as you will me towards your side We are stars, you and I There are shapes in the clouds that we both see You and me, and that's the way it should be
