My Last Amen

From the corner of my eye There's a tear I'm trying to cry But the feeling can't be found Like a note thrills in a song When I play it again, it's gone 'Cause it was never in the sound And it keeps me wanting That mysterious thing Like a night is waiting for a dawn Every prayer I say (a little closer) To my resting place (a little closer) Where my final breath is the beginning To never needing And I will find my last Amen my last Amen I could swear I have two hearts One to stay, one to depart This sad, tragic kingdom And it burns me down to the core Because I know there's so much more It's just a pale reflection And it keeps me wanting That mysterious thing Like an outcast waiting to belong Every prayer I say (a little closer) To my resting place (a little closer) Where my final breath is the beginning To never needing And I will find my last Amen my last Amen And while the thrills are fading The joy is in the waiting Somewhere in the grand design It's good to be unsatisfied It keeps the faith and hope a little more alive Ooh (a little closer) Oh (a little closer) Where my final breath is the beginning To never needing And I will find my last Amen my last Amen Amen
