"Burning Crosses" Lyrics

Theres crosses on the hilltop, a crucifixion underway,
And though i'll be going, i don't even know their names,
I've always thought it funny how we live just for the day,
But when we need a hand we all know how to pray,

Hmmmm....

I've never walked on water, never turned it into wine,
I've never been a savior, though I've tried to be that kind,
I've fallen on my face, but I've gotten up every time,
I raised my family and i taught them about my life,

So i say hey...maybe thats good enough,
Good enough to let me in,

(Chorus)
Burning crosses, that i hold up to the sky,
Burning crosses, and i think I'll be burning my crosses...till i die,

I went to church late last night, walked alone through the snow,
There it was so warm and bright though its not where i planned to go,
Something just called me in and in silence there i stood,
For the first time in my life i felt peaceful and understood,

And a voice said hey...well maybe thats good enough,
Good enough to get you in,

(Chorus)
Burning crosses, that i hold up to the sky,
Burning crosses, and i think I'll be burning my crosses...till i die,

(Musical interlude)

Today i lost a friend, he went to sleep while i held his hand,
I laid it back on the bed it was all so very sad,
But his last words chilled me, deep into my bones,
He said...i was so frightened but now i know I'm not alone,

And i said hey...maybe thats good enough,
Glad to see that you got in,

(Chorus)
Burning crosses, that i hold up to the sky,
Burning crosses, and i think I'll be burning my crosses...till i die,

Theres crosses on the hilltop...
