… so you take me by the hand
and you show me all is right,
high above where blue turns black
the air is thin, my thoughts are bright
and we fly!
we fly…
I see the oceans, I see the sand,
I see the rivers across the land,
I see the mountains reach for the sky,
I see the birds and that are passing by,
I see the moon and I see the stars,
I see the earth with all its scars,
I don’t see lines like you have drawn,
but I see the wars that they have spawned…
… so you take me by the hand
and you show me all is right,
high above where blue turns black
the air is thin, my thoughts are bright
and we fly!
we fly…
I see the house where I was born
and I see a place that is overgrown,
I see the town that I left behind
oh I see the dreams that I left to find,
I see my mother and how she worries
that I’m never coming home,
though she taught me from a child
that I carry home with me,
oh I carry home with me,
now, I don’t see love, I feel it,
and it makes a place for all I know,
to kneel and pray…
