We Are Eternal
Written by Rick Springfield
Waiting for the clock to stop
The other shoe to finally drop
The storekeeper to close up shop
The final call from the mountain top
A face that made the young girls shy
A voice that sang the highest high
The light that dimmed inside your eye
I whispered as I said goodbye
We are eternal (we take flight)
Stairway to the stars our spirit seeks
Cross the internal into light
Away from the skeptics and Jesus freaks
We watched as our dreams came true
We crashed and burned but made it through
Although we burned a bridge or two
In the end it didn’t matter
If I'd paint my life, I’d paint it blue
You brought the light that’s what you do
But now I sit here mourning you
And memories just scatter
We are eternal (we take flight)
Stairway to the stars our spirit seeks
Cross the infernal (into light)
Away from the skeptics and Jesus freaks
I was searching for answers and bleeding from paper cuts
(Bleeding from paper cuts)
We are eternal (here tonight)
More than this life of 4000 weeks
We are eternal, whoa, whoa whoa
We are eternal, whoa, whoa whoa
We are eternal, we take the stairway to the stars our
spirit seeks
Cross the infernal (into light)
Away from the skeptics and Jesus freaks
Our souls searching for answers
and waiting for miracles
(Waiting for miracles)
We are eternal (here tonight)
More than this life of 4000 weeks
Waiting for the clock to stop
The song was written about Brett Tuggle,
