"Year To The Day" lyrics

It's been one year to the day
That I watched you almost die
I made this song sound happy
And I know you'll ask me why
Well the truth is Junebug you healed up alright
But I'm still healing

They didn't even sound the sirens
No one thought it was that bad
But I knew ER would be chaos
Your brother's heart had taught me that
So I was calm and quite collected from the back
Of what seemed standard procedure

First the beeping then the yelling
Your concussion had you mad
And I heard the tone change from the doctor
Who'd been playing quarterback
She said "Dad I gotta tell you it's bad"
And her chances are falling

And all I know is I started to faint
And somebody caught me
Looking back to that day
Somebody caught me

And your mum was off in Vandy
She had bruises of her own
And I didn't know yet how to tell her
You didn't have much time to go
And a police car went to get her
As she hit the ground in millions of pieces

And I made promises with God
And I begged and cried and yelled
And left a lifetime's worth of tears
Inside that cold fluorescent hell
And from my knees I swear I found a kind of faith
That surpassed all reason

So I threw a text to Voltron
And all who'd intercede with might
And the boys were in Seattle
Playing Summer Worship Nights
I swear I felt that arena lift my arms
When I couldn't lift them

And all I know is somebody prayed
And somebody listened
Oh somebody prayed
And somebody listened

Oh
Looking back a year to the day
I'm daily thanking God that you're with us
And I'll put that down to somebody prayed
And somebody listened

It's been one year to the day
That I watched you almost die
I made this song sound happy
And I know you'll ask me why
Well the truth is Junebug you healed up alright
But I'm still healing
