in certain systems of christian eschatology (study
of the end times) whereby all saved christians
are taken from earth by god into heaven.
"rapture...
eyes are falling
lips are falling
hair is falling to the ground
slowly, softly
falling, falling
down in silence to the ground
all the world is falling, falling
all the blue
from me and you
teardrops falling to the ground
teardrops
i'm talkin' 'bout your teardrops
for instance
oh my mama
she's been falling
falling down for quite some time
and oh my papa
he's been falling
falling down for quite some time
oh my friends
i've watched them falling
falling softly to the ground
like the leaves
the Leaves are falling
down in silence to the ground
is this the rapture
is this the rapture
why don't you tell me
is this the rapture
is this the rapture
our father who art in heaven
for the kingdom, the power, the glory, yours
now and forever"
