Aching to Live Lyrics

Sound on the wire
Bathe in the light
There is a world making angels in the night

Fold back the sheath
There’s life underneath
There is a world making angels out of grief

Hide in the cracks
Prepare for attack
There is a world taking all its angels back

Floating away
Drift into space
Bound by no time or place

Fly free
Allow yourself to see
All roads are one way

Never alone, always they’re near
You now are clear
A volunteer

You will feel it
Perfect by design
The truth is too divine
Words will fail you
Closer to your faith
We can be saved
It’s all to give
When you’re aching to live again
Into the sky
We can not die
