Adam Guettel - How Glory Goes lyrics

[FLOYD, spoken] I'm ready now Lord. I know, I weren't no Sunday school momma's boy. But faith is hoping for somethin', believin' what you can't see. (sung) I had faith all my life (spoken) I wanna ask you something. (sung) Is it warm? Is it soft against your face? Do you feel a kind of grace inside the breeze? Will there be trees? Is there light? Does it hover on the ground? Does it shine from all around or just from you? Is it endless and empty and you wander on your own? Slowly forget about the folks that you have known? Or does rising bread fill up the air From open kitchens everywhere? Familiar faces far as you can see, like a family? Do we live? Is it like a little town? Do we get to look back down at who we love? Are we above? Are we everywhere? Are we anywhere at all? Do we hear a trumpet call us and we're by your side? Will I want, will I wish For all the things I should have done? Longin' to finish what I only just begun Or has a shiny truth been waitin' there For all the questions everywhere In a world of wonderin', suddenly you know And you will always know Will my mama be there waiting for me? Smilin' like the way she does And holdin' out her arms And she calls my name She will hold me just the same Only Heaven knows how glory goes What each of us was meant to be In the starlight, that is what we are I can see so far [vocalizations, echoing through cave]
