Quote from the song “Cloud of Witnesses” by Terry Scott Taylor
There from my lofty vantage point
I came to watch over you
I said, “Please sir” to an angel
“Remove your hat so I can get a better view”
That’s when someone pulled a lever
And the misty curtain was withdrawn
On a scene of a little house with tall trees
And you laughed and danced across its summer lawn

[Favorite Song Lyrics: song “Cloud of Witnesses” with perfect lyrics for karaoke]
[Verse 1]
There from my lofty vantage point
I came to watch over you
I said, “Please sir” to an angel
“Remove your hat so I can get a better view”
That’s when someone pulled a lever
And the misty curtain was withdrawn
On a scene of a little house with tall trees
And you laughed and danced across its summer lawn
[Chorus 1]
Where are you going in your
Bright, clean, and innocent dress?
The cloud of witnesses says
“It’s anybody’s guess”
[Verse 2]
And then you crossed the equator
In a broken glass-bottom boat
In the bottomless depths of your ocean
You knew you had to sink and drown to stay afloat
The years are timid and fleeting
Tears of dew on morning grass
They took you to Loveland and badlands
You didn’t notice there the faithful Shepherd with his staff
[Chorus 1]
Where are you going in your
Bright, clean, and innocent dress?
The cloud of witnesses says
“It’s anybody’s guess”
[Verse 3]
And with your babies gone now
You’re learning how to let them go
Their memories dance across your summer lawn
And like those who came before, you want to know
[Chorus 2]
Where are they going in their
Once clean and innocent dress?
The cloud of witnesses says
“It’s anybody’s guess”
[Verse 4]
Now you hold a faded photograph
Of you in your mother’s lap
You sigh as your old hand trembles
Alongside these words that I once scribbled on the back:
[Chorus 1]
Where are you going in your
Bright, clean, and innocent dress?
The cloud of witnesses says
“It’s anybody’s guess”
[Outro]
And all I can do for you today is
My very best
FAQ & Knowledge Song “Cloud of Witnesses”
ℚ. What have the artists said about the song?
In a 2019 post to his Patreon subscribers, Taylor explained that “Cloud of Witnesses” was born out of his realization of his own mortality:
When you reach my age, seldom a day goes by in which thoughts concerning your earthly mortality don’t spring to the surface of your consciousness. We’ve just celebrated the passing of the old year and the beginning of the new and I can’t help but wonder if I’ll be doing the same kind of celebrating next year, or if the celebration will be that of a very different and unimaginable sort. Of course I think often of my family in regard to my inevitable departure; how will they fare….. what will ultimately become of them? It goes without saying that as parents we don’t need to grow old to start asking these questions. We do it now and we do it often. We want our children to grow up strong and healthy, find love and happiness and fulfillment in their lives and hopefully, in the end, leave the world a better place than they found it. Above all, we want our children, if we ourselves are believers, to come to know the gracious, merciful, and loving Lord. All we can really do in regard to all these things is to pray for our children and grandchildren, and point the way through our words and deeds. Aside from this, there is really nothing more that we can do. They are in God’s hands, and in this sense we must let them go.
