Held Up

I've been dreaming of the day of judgment
 Wondering what I'll say
 For the seasons I lost to sorrow
 The sin of my wasted days
 For the beauty I should have noticed
 The kindness I did not give
 The bounty I took for granted
 The life that I could have lived
 Held up at the gates of heaven
 Held up before the light
 Stretched out 'til i was transparent
 There was nowhere i could hide
 The preacher he talks of glory
 Of streets to be paved in gold
 He's got a book and he's got a story
 And we all have heard it told
 Well I wonder how he came to thinking
 That he's speaking for the one above
 'Cause the only rule I know is true
 There's no limit to the reach of love
 No Limit to the reach of love
 Held up at the gates of heaven
 Held up before the light
 Stretched out 'til i was transparent
 There was nowhere i could hide
 Sent back to the living world
 I've got so much more to learn
 Everybody makes the same mistakes
 Everybody takes their turn
 How can you sit in judgment
 How do you cast that stone
 When everybody here's a sinner
 And everybody feels alone
 Brother you aren't so broken
 Sister you ain't so small
 Everybody leaves together
 Or nobody goes at all
 Held up at the gates of heaven
 Held up before the light
 Stretched out till i was transparent
 There was nothing i could hide
 Sent back to the living world
 I've got so much more to learn
 Everybody makes the same mistakes
 Everybody takes their turn
 Everybody makes the same mistakes
 And everybody takes their turn
