The ground is moving
Beneath my feet.
How much longer can I stand?
Most others have already fallen
Into the mouth of the earth,
Never seen again.
How much longer can I stand?
Most others are running
But where to?
Where can you hide from
The swallowing ground?
Where ever it goes it destroys.
Leaving nothing behind.
How much longer can I stand?
It nears more closer
But I can't move.
Even if I did,
Where would I go?
How much longer can I stand?
Time is scarce
So what should I do?
Thoughts of my past come to view.
Did I do enough in my time?
Could I have done more?
Do I know where I'm going
When my soul is taken?
How much longer can I stand?
All else fades away.
The chaos,
The loud splitting of the ground,
The moment before my fate is complete,
It all disappears.
I find myself in my house again,
My family singing and playing together.
A presence most familiar,
Fills the room,
As we sing of praises
To our Lord.
This very moment is my life.
This moment is all I've ever known.
This moment is what I've fought for.
A sense of fulfillment covers my heart.
I've done my duty on this earth.
I've completed my mission.
Papa, take me home!
I'm ready to be with you!
Then it happened...
I no longer have to stand.
