Angels

download MP3

All my life I was weighed down
By the touch of gravity
The tug of the earth was a link to the dirt
And I wanted to be free
To have a body to fly

I thought of myself as an oil-slicked bird
And couldn't take that in
The relationship stress, the work and the debts
I wanted to slip my skin
And have a body to fly

I can't guarantee you love
I can't guarantee you fame
But if you seize your life
You'll be envied by an angel

Now I'm just a warm dream rush
A breath of a butterfly's wing
I've learned to observe your sensuous world
And not sense anything
I have a body to fly

Now I know the world and I know my soul
I know there's life in the stars
But I'd give my wings to clutch the earth
And feel my silent heart
Start to move with the tide

I can't guarantee you love
I can't guarantee you fame
But if you seize your life
You'll be envied by an angel
And this is why I came

You feel the kiss of the sunlight
And you feel the clutter of your dreaming
And you inhale this world
And you believe in your reasons
And you will fly
You will fly

I can't guarantee you love
I can't guarantee you fame
But if you seize your life
You'll be envied by an angel
I can't guarantee you love
I can't guarantee you fame
But if you seize your life
You'll be envied by an angel
This is why I came
