21 Years

Woke up 'cause the light poured in

Day two, let the flood begin

Day one left me in my bed

I can barely remember it

Heart shattered in a thousand ways

They tell me pain gonna come in waves

They tell me I'm gonna be okay

I'm still waitin' for the first to break

Why would You give and then take him away?

Suddenly end, could You not let it fade?

What I would give for a couple of days

A couple of days

Is it just across the Jordan?

Or a city in the stars?

Are you singin' with the angels?

Are you happy where you are?

Well, until this show is over

And you run into my arms

God has you in Heaven

But I have you in my heart

I have you in my heart

I just can't make sense of this

Everything is so dissonant

Somebody said he was meant for this

But I'm just straight missin' him

I wanna wake up to your laugh at two

Catch you when you steal my shoes

Say good mornin', afternoon

Talk you through those "Alex blues"

Listen to your latest beats

Talk about what the lyrics mean

Venmo you another loan

See you do your second show

You said you'd turn, you would turn it around

Thought that you had time to straighten it out

Told me that you were my prodigal son

But this isn't home

Is it just across the Jordan?

Or a city in the stars?

Are you singin' with the angels?

Are you happy where you are?

Well, until this show is over

And you run into my arms

God has you in Heaven

But I have you in my heart

I have you in my heart

Did he see You from a long way off

Did he see you?

Runnin' to him with a father's heart?

Runnin' to him

Did You wrap him up inside Your arms

And let him know that he's home?

Did he see You from a long way off

Runnin' to him with a father's heart?

Did You wrap him up inside Your arms

And let him know that he's home?

Is it just across the Jordan?

Or a city in the stars?

City in the stars

Are you singin' with the angels?

Are you happy where you are?

Happy where you are

Well, until this show is over

And you run into my arms

Run into my arms

God has you in Heaven

21 years makes a man full-grown

21 years, what a beautiful loan

21 years, I loved every one

Thank You, Lord, for my beautiful son
