It was a fatal blow Just to hear the bell The crowd was up the side of the bluff And the mountain fell Then a one-way ride Through the graveyard gates The prettiest song you're never gonna hear Until it's too late Nearer my God, Nearer my God, Nearer my God, she came to me Said it don't matter how the story's told About these growing souls I broke through eternal skies To the Caribbean Sea Busted his flaps at the foot of hope and roam The halfway tree Where the endless song is carried out on the wind Deep in the night, the terror and the toll She came in Nearer my God, Nearer my God, Nearer my God, it came to me Said it don't matter how the story's told About these growing souls
