Mission Bells

My uncle came down in the morning

Looking like the crack of dawn

His hair was combed and his shirt was clean

There was something going on

He said I laid upstairs and I listened

While the world went round and round

There was something that I’d been missing

And I thought I heard a sound

Saying time won’t heal

What only time can tell

And I’ve been waiting on those mission bells

There’s a line we feel

Between the heaven and hell

And the waiting on those mission bells

The waiting on those mission bells

Well some of us wait until winter

Before we feel the cold

Some of us hold onto some things

Like they’re worth their weight in gold

My uncle just stood by the window

Thinking of the days he lied

To the people he gathered around him

And the voice he heard inside

Saying come on down

Come on down

Come on, come on

Come on down

Cause only time can heal

What only time can tell

And I’ve been waiting on those mission bells

There’s a line we feel

Between the heaven and hell

And the waiting on those mission bells

There’s a line we feel

Between the heaven and hell

And the waiting on those mission bells

The waiting on those mission bells
