The Wings
Tangerine Circus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Before I realized, in the sudden blink of an eye
I was absorbed, by the greatness of the sky
Not feeling scared, because my life had just begun
And that's why I know, the reason why I'll never fall

In just a matter of few seconds, watching the birth of seven angels where there is no sin
Hang gliding in the pool of vision, free of the grasp of corruption and my misty past.
I'm flying too high, with my eyes set far away
Up there where God embraces us and watches all
I feel his hand, pointing at me and guiding me
I'm drifting now, and forever 'till the end of time.

Even when darkness takes over you and me
We'll never be alone, we shouldn't be afraid
All paths take to the same place
We'll never give in to despair, we will stay together




Besides each other
We'll never give in, we'll always hang glide...
