lyrics

The Crossing (I've Been Searching For A Reason Why)
Copyright 2019 David Alan Bruce and James [Jamie] Stoffa

How does it feel to escape the living?
No need to worry 'bout the next day
Singing, soaring
Born among the angels
At last your demons cast away

Did you finally feel
The calm in fading
Or did St. Peter greet you like they say
Or did you drift away

CHORUS
I’ve been searching for a reason why
I’ve been looking for a sign

What crossed your mind in the final seconds?
Wish I could revive your very last breadth
This guilt forever, ever haunts me
But it’s not ‘bout me anyway

Did you finally our maker?
Or locked behind the fiery gates of hell
To face the devil’s himself

CHORUS
I’ve been searching for a reason why
I’ve been looking for a sign

Deep in my heart I know
All that you were
Is what you are now
The light you shed still shines
Defines you
Ignorance was my crime
Never digging into your mind
Leaving you, left behind
To find…..
A way out
