Team Callahan - Afterglow

People search for clues to your existence
A sun and a symbol
Golden idols, dumb tea leaves
The riddle answer’s not so tricky
Your purpose, your meaning
The riddle’s already been solved
Move to the city, feel so small
A drop in a puddle
The crowded highway’s so cliché
You leave for work and I start staring
The wall and the whiteness
Can’t force my fingers to write
Bible studies, jokes and lies
Boys sit in chairs
My brother’s gone for a long time
You’re always leaving me your afterglow
You know that I’m that afterglow
You’re always leaving me your afterglow
You know that I’m your afterglow
I worry about what may happen
Some car crash or cancer
I worry about who I may lose
Start my day naming sorrows
Impossible danger
Send my mind out wandering a while
The news tells me about that evil
The drownings and killings
The news tells me to be afraid
Sleep with you, I still have nightmares
Of fire and heaven
All this sin must level out
Give up my gun, fall on my sword again
So this is like trusting
Tell you I am gonna scream
I want that ladder up to heaven
Some night-timing wrestle with God
I want that stairway up to space
I want that ladder up to heaven
Some night-timing wrestle with God
I want that stairway up to space
Thumbprint me deeper with your image
I’m not some dirty mansion
Thumbprint me deeper with your grace
Clean up this broke down mansion
Thumbprint me deeper with your image
Cause I’m not some dirty mansion
Thumbprint me deeper with your grace
One day everything will cease
One day we will have peace
Built a bridge across divide
Jealous rose risen on high
One day everything will cease the groaning
One day we will have peace, the King
Built a bridge across divide to Heaven
Jealous rose risen on high forever
One day everything will cease the groaning
One day we will have peace, the King
Built a bridge across divide to Heaven
Jealous rose risen on high forever
