Richard Shindell - Ascent lyrics

I have no explanation I cannot be of help But you see my situation I don't recognize myself It happened without reason It happened just like that I've no more information Beyond the simple fact There was never any warning There was never any sign It's just that I woke up this morning And eternity was mine Search my family history an*lyze my dreams Expose my contradictions Reduce me to the mean What you find might be revealing It might very well be true But you don't know what you're dealing with You haven't got a clue There was never any warning There was never any sign It's just that I woke up this morning And eternity was mine God knows I don't deserve this After all the pain I've caused But do me one last service Before I take that walk Before my soul flies from this chamber And heaven beckons me across Read me what the Saviour said To that thief upon the Cross There was never any warning There was never any sign It's just that I woke up this morning And eternity was mine
