Manta Rae Lyrics

Violet Burning 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.
