(Rom. 8:19, 22;  2 Peter 2:19)

I’m a new man
a neon sign
fleeting footsteps
mark my time
Pooling money
worn out shoes
a trusting spirit
nothing to lose

Waiting for the sons of God
to be revealed
Waiting for the Son to shine
One day I’ll be free

Slaves of corruption
creation groans
they might break my
mortal bones
Fractured rhythms
I hear the shots
search and rescue
eclipse my thoughts

Waiting for the sons of God
to be revealed
Waiting for the Son to shine
One day I’ll be free

Head for the station
before it’s too late    
I need a thousand hands
to carry this weight

Waiting for the sons of God
to be revealed
Waiting for the Son to shine
One day I’ll be free

Waiting for the sons of God
to be revealed
Waiting for the Son to shine
One day I’ll be free
