one solitary question
opened heaven once again
ringing in the restoration
piercing veils, parting friends
and we hung on every line
every point of belief he would define
and love filled the chasm of time
and began to overflow
soul, heart, and mind

waiting through the persecution
with a glance he caught my eye
and for a final contribution
asked if i for him would die
then he pierced my very soul
every motive, thought, intent he seemed to know
in a breath he said, "my friend it is my time
stay true to the truth
soul, heart, and mind"

and i hope he's smiling down on me
from where his soul is finally free
with a love you can't define
and i pray that one day we might be
one for all in unity
live forever bound in time
soul, heart, and mind

with no hint of exetation
keeping heaven in his sight
he gave it all through restoration
and made the beeline for the light
and i can't help but think about him
every chapter, every verse, and every line
and praise to his undivided vision
ever cleaving to the truth
soul, heart, and mind

and i hope he's smiling down on me
from where his soul is finally free
with a love you can't define
and i pray that one day we might be
one for all in unity
live forever bound in time
soul, heart, and mind
soul, heart, and mind
