lyrics

A peaceful night and starry skies
Were all we saw from earthly eyes
The night you came into our midst
But I wonder what that night was like
On the other side of heaven’s light
When you embarked for your visit

I’d imagine giving up your throne
Wasn’t just business as usual
Or another ordinary day
Did you have a grand send-off by chance
Complete with pomp and circumstance
Where all the souls of heaven came?

Chorus:
When you laid your crown down on your throne
Did you walk out on the streets of gold
Where the angels lined up to bid farewell?
Did they cheer as you went through the gate
To reverse the course of mankind’s fate?
Were they solemn as you began your earthly dwell
From the annals of what goes on in heaven?
What a night that must of been

In the moments before you arrived
Did your kingdom really come alive
With a flurry of activity?
Were the final orders then conveyed
To initiate the plans you made
At the dawning of all history?

Chorus

Were the patriarchs all gathered there
Intently watching you prepare
To bare the task that they foretold?
Did they stand in awe and contemplate
That you’d leave behind your royal place
To save a world of fallen souls?

Chorus
