A Lullaby For Judas

You are born from a force of your father
You were cut from the same cloth as I
You were brought forth, bathing in a light of your own
You're the life I hide asleep by my side
You're the language I speak in the blink of an eye
You're the promise that I'll keep until the day that I die
You're the stillness in the woes that follow me to my bed
You're the patience that I seek as time's not done with you yet

But still, you're everything

God could try all that he wants with all the time that he has
But he will never create something as divine as I have
You're a nearer kind of heaven than any God I've known
You're the universe I can't believe I can call my own

Slow down waters, don't take him from me
I've waited a lifetime for him to be
Slow down waters, don't take him from me
I've waited a lifetime for him to be
Slow down waters, don't take him from me
I've waited a lifetime for him
Slow down waters don't take him from me, oh-oh-oh
I've waited a lifetime for him to be

I'll become an angel just to watch over you
And wipe your tears when you fall
And when I leave this world
I won't be gone from you forever
So don't you cry for me at all
I'll become an angel just to watch over you
And wipe your tears when you fall
And when I leave this world
I won't be gone from you forever
So don't you cry for me at all
