One Second Short of Forever

Trust me when I say
That it's cold up here
I know I'll find my place
Just past the atmosphere

And trust me when I say
That my heart might turn to fear
Frozen in warm embrace
What if this journey is near to its end

And does the sun set in the same place each night
Could the moon without the stars seem to shine so bright
And where does what is lost go to when it's out of sight
Just maybe, could it be at home with you

Tell me
I gotta have something to believe in
Tell me
Cause restlessness won't let me fall asleep tonight
Tell me
Cause I just don't quite understand
How the word ends, cold hands, unfinished plans
One second short of forever

Tell me what you miss about home
Tell me all the things unknown
So much I want to say
I'll have to wait until another time

Teach me the song to sing
Carry me on Your eagle's wings
I know Your promise is sure
I need to know that it's there

And does the sun set in the same place each night
Could the moon without the stars seem to shine so bright
And where does what is lost go to when it's out of sight
Just maybe, could it be at home with you

Tell me
I gotta have something to believe in
Tell me
Cause restlessness won't let me fall asleep tonight
Tell me
Cause I just don't quite understand
How the word ends, cold hands, unfinished plans
One second short of forever

I heard a name
It drifted strong and certain o'er
The mountain range
Castaway, castaway
A carefree voice
That called out soft and sweet over
The roaring waves
Clear as day
And I say

Tell me
I gotta have something to believe in
Tell me
Cause restlessness won't let me fall asleep tonight
Tell me
Cause I just don't quite understand
How the word ends, cold hands, unfinished plans
One second short of forever
