One Hour From Forever Lyrics

It begins with and endless darkness, awaiting that ray of light
Suspended in solitude, anxiously waiting for that breath of life or the kiss of death
No one knows the way the wind will blow
To be conceived is to die
To die is to live
As the womb opens, it springs forth life
Taking in all surroundings, big eyes curious and truly fragile
God take this life
Hold it in Your hand
We can never know the true meaning of our life
As a child we have dreams, though some never see another day
The ground breaks open and takes the dead
We all will see the day.
We all will stand before the Lord

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I believe that, in short, this song is talking about how we may not really know if we are going to live with God in Heaven, or be damned into Hell forever. All that we can know, is that everyone WILL see the Lord. Every single person will stand before the lord, and as my favorite line in the song puts it, "We all will see", which should be the last line of the song, but isn't.

this is what Seth Kimbrough said the song means “It is about from the time the baby is in the womb. Its life is fragile and from day one each day could be our last. Truly we are like the morning fog.”
