Empyrean
The Sky's The Limit Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm calling out but i haven't heard a sound
I wonder where you are
And are you coming down
You reach for me and you know just why i came
All i only have to do is cry your name
Holy spirit consume me
Now let your wave of light shine through
Somehow now I've called out and i can hear you loud

Come my lord and save me
At the speed of sound let me sail out there with you
Where i can fly out in the stars
I'll wait for you to take me in
And send me far

Holy spirit consume me now
Let your wave of light shine through somehow
