Gold
15.Wake Owl Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So, didn't you find love or salvation in what they do
A heart is built of gold, the fairies they are too
It's in the hands you hold
How long can we ignore
We build a little more, and then we break our truth

Ooh
ooh

ooh
ooh

And I don't feel like I'm falling, I'm up against the sky
I sit taking it all in to make the good life
And I don't feel like I'm falling, I'm up against the sky
Let's grab the heart of the world and turn into the light

But I cannot turn around, the angels hear me now, go where I'm bound
You smile like you know, the new world has been found

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

And I don't feel like I'm falling, I'm up against the sky
I sit taking it all in to make the good life
And I don't feel like I'm falling, I'm up against the sky
Let's grab the heart of the world and turn into the light

And I don't feel like I'm falling, I'm up against the sky
Let's grab the heart of the world and turn into the light
