[Verse]
I saw the sky split wide apart
A golden stair
A trembling heart
The faithful rose
The earth stood still
Their cries of joy
My heart grew ill
[Chorus]
Oh God
You call them one by one
But leave behind my only son
The world now fades
The trumpets ring
I long to hear an angel sing
[Verse 2]
His eyes once bright
Now cold as stone
A king to ruin
A throne alone
He walks the path that twists and turns
A mother weeps
Her heart still burns
[Prechorus]
If love could save
I'd tear the veil
But heaven’s gates are strong
I fail
[Chorus]
Oh God
You call them one by one
But leave behind my only son
The light ascends
The shadows cling
I ache to hear an angel sing
[Bridge]
A name unspoken
A fate unsealed
His soul
A wound that cannot heal
The stars bow low
The heavens cry
Yet here we stand
My son and I
