We know who waits for us there All those we knew, you took for yourself They might not have had time for faith Too young, too much for old time religion You made us in seven, we raise in the eighth
They had to go their own way Leaving this place, did they ask a favor? Did they tell you about me? Maybe that’s not how it is by your side We knew them Lord, we hope they’re free
Take care of them Lord We can’t imagine it They didn’t ask for streets of gold But we’d be willing to pave it
You took them from captivity Living in the wild, our mothers suffer so The path we take, only our hearts know They didn’t have enough time Lord Salvation collection, whose debt did they owe?
Take care of them Lord They couldn’t imagine it They didn’t ask for streets of gold But we already paved it
