Midnight Oil · letra

Based on Matthew 25:1-13

We wait since the day He ascended He said He would come again Some think it will be such a long time Some they the know just when We live like there's no tomorrow We wait with out lamps of oil We watch for the midnight hour The day we cease our toil When the trumpet sounds and the bridegroom comes
The wedding's gonna be so royal So we gotta keep staying loyal 'Cause our feet are gonna leave this soil When we burn the midnight oil When we burn the midnight oil
Some wait from the top of the mountain Away from the world below Some work while there's still a harvest No rest when there's seed to sow We go out to wait for the bridegroom Some bring oil of readiness Some lamps will be burned out waiting Left out in their emptiness Will our lamps be full at parousia?
When the bridegroom comes we will hear the call
