I've been standing at the foot of the Altar
I've been standing at the foot of the Altar
Long as I can remember
Long as I can remember
Never really knowing why
I wish, I could be the perfect father
But I come back to the altar
No matter how hard I try
Every prayer I say Every mass I serve Every penance I make
Every retreat leads back to the place I know
Where I cannot go, where I long to be
See the light as the heavens meet the Altar it calls me
God only knows, how far it goes
If the spirit in my heart on the earth stays beside me
One day I'll know
If He calls there's just no telling how far I'll go
I know everybody in this family
Seems so happy with these grandkids
Everything is for The-Lord
I know everybody in this family
Has a role in this family
So maybe I could roll with mine
I can find a wife. I can have some kids.
Satisfy my mom if I play along
But the voice inside chants a different hymn.
What is wrong with me
See the light as it shines on the chalice, It's blinding
God only knows, how deep it goes
And it seems like He's calling out to me
So Lord find me
And let me know
What's beyond that rail Will I cross that rail
See the light where the heavens meets the altar
It calls me
God only knows how far it goes
If the spirit in my heart on the earth stays beside me
One day I'll know
How far I'll go
