A father kneels and starts to pray (whoa) for the son that he can't save (Oh no)
He would do anything to take his place
But you know sometimes it's hard to understand mysterious ways (whoa)

So the chariot took him home
Now he's running through the streets of gold
He is swimming on the crystal seas can't you see?
He will wait there for you and me

A mother kneels and starts to weep (whoa) for the children she won't see (oh no)
And she worked every single day of the week to care for her young
But on that hospital bed she waits to die alone

So the chariot takes her home
She is welcomed in the arms of love
And she is seeing all the beautiful things she dreamed of
And she is waiting to greet all of us

Don't wait too long, today could go wrong,
Don'twait too long to know

Will the chariot take you home?
Are we running down the streets of gold?
Are we singing by the crystal seas, you and me?
The gift of love has set you free
