lyrics

Out of the mud and onto the bus,
She never had that much.
But what she had, she had to love.

Money for books and pretty good looks,
And the romance that she took,
From friends that she got hooked.

The way they lined up to see her,
And the way they lied just to feel her,
Came down when it all implied that no one really cares.

Stumbling up the college steps,
To the second i.d. check,
She remembers home again.

Laid in a trance, all in the past,
A glimpse of what she had.
You will never get that back.

The way they lined up to see her,
And the way they lied just to feel her,
Came down when it all implied that no one ever cared.

Coming awake on the seventh day,
The girl looks at her face.
The time has come to change.

"How many years have I been here,
Becoming all I fear?
If God could only hear..."

And the brightest lights completely failed
To begin to describe the way she felt
When God himself arrived in her beating heart
And Heaven unpeeled her eyes
She began to start again.
