[Verse 1]
From the corner of my eye
There's a tear I'm trying to cry
But the feeling can't be found
Like a note thrills in a song
When I play it again, it's gone
'Cause it was never in the sound
[Pre-Chorus]
And it keeps me wanting
That mysterious thing
Like a night is waiting for a dawn
[Chorus]
Every prayer I say (a little closer)
To my resting place (a little closer)
Where my final breath
Is the beginning
To never needing
And I will find my last Amen
[Verse 2]
I could swear I have two hearts
One to stay, one to depart
This sad, tragic kingdom
And it burns me down to the core
Because I know there's so much more
It's just a pale reflection
[Pre-Chorus]
And it keeps me wanting
That mysterious thing
Like an outcast waiting to belong
[Chorus]
Every prayer I say (a little closer)
To my resting place (a little closer)
Where my final breath
Is the beginning
To never needing
And I will find my last Amen
[Bridge]
And while the thrills are fading
The joy is in the waiting
Somewhere in the grand design
It's good to be unsatisfied
It keeps the faith and hope
A little more alive
[Chorus]
Ooh (a little closer)
Ooh (a little closer)
Where my final breath
Is the beginning
To never needing
And I will find my last Amen
[Outro]
My last amen
Amen
My last amen
Amen
