One child stood before the altar
   One child stood out in the rain
   One child spent his time imagining
   And I don't believe he's coming home again, home again, home a...
  
   [chorus]
   Right there in the earth, I've been drawing a line
   I'm digging it deep, don't know if I'll find
   A tunnel out so we all can be saved
   If not, just take this earth and bury me, for this will be my grave
  
   One child hid inside the darkness
   One child never said a thing
   One child closed his eyes and disappeared
   But at night I still can hear him whispering, whispering, whisper...
  
   [chorus]
   Right there in the earth, I've been drawing a line
   I'm digging it deep, don't know if I'll find
   A tunnel out so we all can be saved
   If not, just take this earth and bury me, for this will be my grave
  
   [lead break/coda]
   I will believe in you
   If you still want me to
   Or tell me I'm on my own
   There on the other side
   Tell me the Pilate's died
   And we're no longer alone
  
   [bridge]
   Take your answers and your promises, believe me I don't care
   I have held on to your words until I found them only air
   What good are your promises if you can always take them back?
   Still, I hang on every word till my hands are bleeding
  
   [coda]
   I will believe in you
   If you still want me to
   Or tell me I'm on my own
   There on the other side
   Tell me the Pilate's died
   And we're no longer alone
  
   [simultaneously]
  
   I will believe in you
   We had no choice but to stay and follow
   If you still want me to
   We have nothing left except tomorrow
   Or tell me I'm on my own
   We have nothing left except what will be
   There on the other side
   What we need here are some real decisions
   Tell me the Pilate's died
   While you only offer mindless visions
   And we're no longer alone
   Visions that nobody else here can see
