Audra McDonald - How Glory Goes lyrics
[Audra McDonald - How Glory Goes lyrics]
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 risin' bread 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'a done?
Longing to finish what I've only just begun?
Or has a shinin' truth been waitin' there
For all the questions ev'rywhere?
In a world of wonderin', suddenly you know
And you will always know?
Will my mama be there waiting for me?
Smilin' like the way she does
And holdin' out her arms
And she 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 far
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 risin' bread 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'a done?
Longing to finish what I've only just begun?
Or has a shinin' truth been waitin' there
For all the questions ev'rywhere?
In a world of wonderin', suddenly you know
And you will always know?
Will my mama be there waiting for me?
Smilin' like the way she does
And holdin' out her arms
And she 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 far
