The Collection - To Dust lyrics

Teacher, you had mentioned me on the way to the dead sea You said that you'd make the blind to see after three days So I saw what I'd gotten into, and fell into a lions den You could close every single mouth that they raise I remember when you'd dance with me in the mud so ever frequently I didn't wash my feet for weeks for fear that the muddy healing would rub off If you'd heal my brother, will we know if he's supposed to live, or die, or both? And will he come home after three days? I used to not love you, but I changed my mind And if that happened once, it could happen twice How many times can I “still have faith”? But you are forever, and when we brave this weather You go and walk across the water to keep me from drowning to the bottom Where he was laid beneath the falls and waves I was staring, looking back, out the keyhole of my door You saw that I had seen you, and I fell to the floor You were dancing with the children and loving all the broken And I was too scared to come out And then you busted through my doorway and it seemed so very violent But peaceful words came out and silenced all my silence And I realized that the knowledge that I thought that I had known Was nothing compared to you coming to my home So maybe when I'm dead, you will answer all the questions That all of us explained though we knew we didn't know them And wonder why true love would demand that d**h must be the cure? So even if my anger and my pain have all continued It could quickly fade if I'd receive a touch from you And I would be content to forget everything I've known To fall asleep right now, for good before your throne
