[Full congregation]<br>
The Keys to the vaults of heaven<br>
May be buried somewhere in a prayer<br>
The Keys to the vaults of heaven<br>
May be heavy or lighter than air<br>
<br>
Open up the vaults<br>
Open up the vaults<br>
We've got to find the keys<br>
<br>
The nights have been growing darker<br>
They're darker now than sin<br>
We'll open the vaults of heaven<br>
The treasures are there within<br>
<br>
[Solo]<br>
The keys to the vaults of heaven<br>
May be seen in a pure child's eyes<br>
The keys to the vaults of heaven<br>
May be heard in our desperate cries<br>
<br>
[Solo & Children]<br>
Open up the vaults<br>
Open up the vaults<br>
We've got to find the keys<br>
<br>
The nights have been growing darker<br>
Even darker now than sin<br>
We'll open the vaults of heaven<br>
The glories are there within<br>
<br>
[The Children]<br>
One sweet day when the whole worlds ready<br>
We'll awake to a glorious sight<br>
<br>
[Swallow & Children]<br>
Our saviour returns to guide us<br>
We'll be gratefully blinded by light<br>
<br>
[Full congregation]<br>
We've got to find the keys<br>
We've got to find the keys<br>
To open up the vaults<br>
The nights have been growing darker<br>
So much darker now than sin<br>
We'll open the vaults of heaven<br>
And the answers are there, within.<br>
<br>
We've got to find the keys<br>
We've got to find the keys<br>
To open up the vaults<br>
The nights have been growing darker<br>
So much darker now than sin<br>
We'll open the vaults of heaven<br>
And the answers are there, within.<br>
<br>
<br>
"Our saviour will once again walk amongst us. He will return my friends. We <br>
have his promise. And those who fail to recognise him will burn in a fiery <br>
hell. Those who do see his glory will never be weak, nor sick, nor hungry, nor <br>
lonely again. No more pain, no more loss, no more sorrow"<br>
The words leave a lasting impression in the minds of the three grieving <br>
children, especially Swallow who is on the verge of becoming a woman. A young <br>
woman without a mother to guide her.<br>
The overture (instrumental version) of Whistle down the wind plays, as the <br>
freeway rises to reveal the children playing below.<br>
Swallow, Brat and Poor Baby sing I never get what I pray for...<br>
