Letra de 'Swept Away' de Jeff Williams

Take a walk with me. let's talk about our long history of doing the right thing,
When the world was telling us we should sell our souls and worship our things.
We lived our lives and we never did compromise our convictions,
And when our hearts stopped beating we were greeting angels and kings.
Nobody told us we'd be famous if we sold our life-story,
But we were bound for glory...

We were swept away
We were flying high as a prayer on the wind
And we were weightless
We had wings like eagles
And when we finally landed
We were in heaven

Don't be shy. face the sky. don't let anyone try to lie and say there's nothing else.
We believe that we receive eternal life after death.
It's in the book. take a look. no, we never mistook these words for empty promises.
When talk was cheap, we were deep inside the arms of our god.
We bore his name like a flame rising up beyond blue skies.
We closed our eyes...

And we were swept away
We were flying high as a prayer on the wind
And we were weightless
We had wings like eagles
And when we finally landed
We were in heaven

I still remember the majesty,
When the holy father smiled at me
And said, "welcome home, son.
There's a mansion waiting for you here."
"to live is christ and to die is gain."
That's what paul said to me.
So hold your head up high. don't cry.
Don't try to buy your way to heaven,
Just fly away and leave your money behind...

And be swept away
We were flying high as a prayer on the wind
And we were weightless
We had wings like eagles
And when we finally landed
We were in heaven
