21 Years Lyrics by TobyMac
Woke up ’cause the light poured in
Day two, let the flood begin
Day one, left me in my bed
I can barely remember it
Heart shattered in a thousand ways
They tell me pain gonna come in waves
They tell me I’m gonna be okay
I’m still waitin’ for the first to break
Why would you give and then take him away?
Suddenly end could you not let it fade?
What I would give for a couple of days
A couple of days
Is it just across the Jordan?
Or a city in the stars
Are you singin’ with the angels?
Are you happy where you are?
Well until this show is over
And you run into my arms
God has you in heaven
But I have you in my heart
I have you in my heart
I just can’t make sense of this
Everything is so dissonant
Somebody said he was meant for this
But I’m just straight missin’ him
I wanna wake up to your laugh or two
Catch you when you steal my shoes
Say good morning, afternoon
Talk you through those Alex blues
Listen to your latest beats
Take about what the lyrics mean
Venmo you another loan
See you do your second show
You said you’d turn, you would turn it around
Thought that you had time to straighten it out
Told me that you were my prodigal son
But this isn’t home
Is it just across the Jordan?
Or a city in the stars
Are you singing with the angels?
Are you happy where you are?
Well until this show is over
And you run into my arms
God has you in heaven
But I have you in my heart
I have you in my heart
Did you see him from a long way off?
Runnin’ to him with a father’s heart
Did you wrap him up inside your arms?
And let him know that he’s home
Did you see him from a long way off?
Runnin’ to him with a father’s heart
Did you wrap him up inside your arms?
And let him know that he’s home
Is it just across the Jordan?
Or a city in the stars
Are you singing with the angels?
Are you happy where you are?
Well until this show is over
And you run into my arms
God has you in heaven
Twenty-one years makes a man full grown
Twenty-one years what a beautiful loan
Twenty-one years, I love everyone
Thank you, Lord, for my beautiful son
