Absent Poem by Tommy LoMaglio

Verse: 1
I'm tied down here to the weight of this life
But soon there will come a day
And when that time comes to cut my kite strings
Watch me as I fly away

Chorus:
I'm soaring in wings of eagles
The suns warmth beats down on my face
So far above the world behind me
I stretch my arms toward your embrace

Verse: 2
Oh how I long for that meeting in the clouds
To bask in His love and to hold Him close
I can hardly wait for that day to come
To finally see the one I love most

: Repeat Chorus:

Bridge:
Living in your glory
Coming up slowly
I can feel this cold life melting away
When it comes to pass
That I breathe my last
Living with my Lord till the end of my days

: Repeat Chorus: x2
