"Runway" lyrics

"Runway"

When I hit the ground in all my glory
I will know where I have come from
In the shadow of the doubt that meets the morning
I have come and I have faced it
In the time it took to really understand him
I bore witness to who he grew to be

I will never know why a good man will go
Or a bird will fall from the sky that she was made for
And a heart will beat out of fear of its defeat
And the love you left behind will no longer stand today

When I hit the runway in my armor
I will know what I am made of
And in the arms of my daughter comes an answer
I have seen what she will know

I will never know why a good man will die
Or a bird will fall from the sky that she was made for
And a heart will beat out of fear of its defeat
And the love you left behind will no longer stand today

When I hit the ground in all my glory
I will know where I have come from
In the shadow of the doubt that meets the morning
I have come, I have known
