Do we have it wrong?
Can everything be solved 
with a song to the One most high?
I hear voices crackling 
trying to reach high notes
and anchors thrown over the
sides of boats by those who
heard the church bells ring and
did not wish to miss out
on anything and the
sailors cry, but to those
who have gone before and
no answers do they hear

For the story has already
been told and though
we didn’t listen then, there
is still the chance that
we can make the bells glisten
and feel better but then again
we should seek redemption 
beyond the cross because
we didn’t learn the lesson

But now, so much later
we are ready to say forgive us
as we took our chances but
see how foolish that is so
ring the bells that promise
forgiveness and we will go
back to our jobs of serving
knowing that this is what
was meant by all of those
speaking from authority 
I think we have it right
