Crossing Over
Red Letter Agent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So you sailed across the world tonight
I was worried for the both of us
When the waters rose above your head
We found a harbor from the storm, inside

If it wasn't for your blue wind pushing me
If it wasn't for your hands that covered me
So you sailed across the world tonight
Broke the boundaries that were set for you
Set your sails and caught the wind to fly
With the sound of angel wings tonight

If it wasn't for your blue wind pushing me
If it wasn't for your love that carried me

I heard the sound, I think it's time we're crossing over
I heard you say




I heard the sound
I think it's time we're crossing over, crossing over
