How Glory Goes

Is it warm?
Is it soft against your face?
Do you feel a kind of grace
Inside the breeze?
Will there be trees?

Is there light?
Does it hover on the ground?
Does it shine from all around
Or just from you?

Is it endless and empty
And you wander on your own?
Slowly forget about
The folks that you have known?
Or does it rise and red fill up the air
From open kitchens everywhere?
Familiar faces far as you can see
Like a family

Do we live?
Is it like a little town?
Do we get to look back down
At who we love?
Are we above?
Are we everywhere?
Are we anywhere at all?
Do we hear a trumpet call us
And we're by your side?

Will I want, will I wish
For all the things I should have done?
Longing to finish
What I only just begun?
Or is it shinin' through, been waitin' there
For all the questions everywhere?
In a world of wonderin', suddenly you know
And you will always know

Will my mama be there waiting for me
Smiling like the way she does
And holdin' out her arms
And calls my name?
She will hold me just the same

Only heaven knows how glory goes
What each of us was meant to be
In the starlight, that is what we are
I can see so much
