Manta Rae

Been carrying this heavy case - yeah, I've got to lose this weight
Somewhere the light is strong; there I'm gonna lay it down
I'll rise when my ship comes in, I'll stand up and you'll lead me in
Gonna climb on board, leave these burdens behind
So don't cry, when my ship comes in
Giving up on packing this case, I can't bring it anyways
I'm gonna climb on board the "Manta Rae"
Gonna sail right into that holy place
Where the weak are strong, singing their songs
Angels, sinners and saints join together as one
And lay down their lives before the worthy Lamb
Gonna lay down my life before the worthy lamb
I'll sigh when that train arrives; I'll meet you on the other side
My mother, my father, my sisters, my brothers - soon we'll be together again
Yeah, we'll be together again
I'll meet you on that day, forget the past things
No words can say or explain the wonder found in that place
Gonna climb aboard that saving train
I'll meet you on that day, guide you and sail you along the way
Through the deepest of oceans, I will never stray
Gonna float you and fly you, my Manta Rae
I'm gonna leave this baggage behind (yeah, I'll meet you on that day)
Soon we'll be together in that holy place (yeah)
Gonna leave these burdens behind (yeah, I'll meet you on that day)
You know we'll be together in that holy place (yeah)
Gonna leave this baggage behind (yeah, I'll meet you on that day)
Soon we'll be together in that holy place (yeah)
Gonna leave this baggage behind (yeah, I'll meet you on that day)
You know we'll be together in that holy place (yeah)
I don't need this baggage in that holy place
I won't need these burdens in that holy place
I don't need this baggage
I won't need this baggage
