Heaven's Coming Down

Another lyric post. This one by the Tea Party. It kind of takes me back ot the years I was in high school, writing poetry as a misunderstood introvert, you know the drill I'm sure. But as I recount my recent travel, I'd have to say that I can identify with some of the lines. Maybe I'm the only one. That's fine. But it reminds me of surrender to a love, a will outside one's own. When Christ knocks you off your horse, so to speak. When He draws you to Himself. And you surrender to the pull, to the call of obedience, to the truth within His Holy Word.

Anyway....
______________

With nothing to do
you'd waste away
obscure in exile
they've witnessed the times
you've gone astray
whose fault?
now you're thinking...
ah,there's nothing to prove
a message from the crowd to the shore...

And it feels now
just like heaven's coming down

So strange are the ways,
they all have changed
still life it stays the same
a break from the past
could make it last
oh, maybe just a little longer
now there's nothing to prove
a message from the crowd to the shore...

And it feel now
just like heaven's coming down
your soul, shakes free
as its conscience hits the ground

You surrender
love under will
rest assured you're adored, oh.

And it feels now
just like heaven's coming down
your soul, shakes free
as its conscience hits the ground
these times, this fate,
takes a path you didn't choose
stay strong, keep faith
there's a change that's coming through
hold on, my love
hold on, my love
hold on, my love
Feels like heavens coming down.
