He dreams of release as life goes on
And all for his faith, his face is drawn
For ever and a day he sings his praise
Still living in fear of judgement day

Say we'll never come down from heaven
No, we never will !
With this ring, I claim you
With my name I name you

He dreams of release as time drags on
The jailed and the jailer, hand in hand
In heaven this was made to last for years
A promise intended to end in tears
