Winter crept slowly through my back door
The time of the angels passed by, I die
The sun said goodbye, goodbye
The stars fell away

You can’t squeeze life out of the lifeless
You can’t put the quarter in if the rejection comes from
within
You can’t just run after the wind, wind

*When the sun is gone, where is the fire?
The earth glows from the distance, that is all they see
Take my insides apart, in my desire
A blazing core burns bright, I’ve held the sun within me
all this time
all this time

Don’t you know that there’s an angel in us all
Don’t suppress the voice in your head, you’re the
channel of the song
Don’t you know there’s a power in us all
overcome the emptiness, climb over every wall
Don’t you know that there’s a pain in us all
Don’t regress your dancing steps, you’re the dancer in
the stars
Don’t you know that there’s a calm within us all
Overcome the emptiness, fly over every wall

Tomorrow stood silent in the shadows
The bountiful rainstorms swept by, I die
My heart said goodbye, goodbye
My eyes withered away

You can’t squeeze hope out of the hopeless
Can’t ever fill the gypsy’s cup, she’ll never know if
it’s enough
You can’t just run after the rainbow
You can’t just…

Save me from fallen, I can’t
fly me to the moon
but I can
fly
I can… fly
Fly

Winter crept slowly through my back door
The time of the angels passed by, I die
The sun said goodbye, goodbye
The stars fell away
The bountiful rainstorms swept by, I die
My heart said goodbye, goodbye
My eyes withered away

Save me from fallen, I can’t
fly me to the moon
but I can
fly
I can… fly
Fly
