Wings

I once believed in fairytales
Naïve as it may seem
I once believed in rainbows
To be followed to a dream
I once believed in castles
That evermore would stand
But all my rainbows melted
And my castles turned to sand

And wishing on the morning star
Didn’t make my wish come true
So when hoping turns to heartache
My Lord, I turn to You

CHORUS:
The clouds are far from silver
And the streets are far from gold
And every day the sky is grey
The night is long and cold
It’s a city full of pain
And a world of tarnished things
But we’ll fly high above it
And You will be my wings

I once believed in friendship
Where no one had to hide
I once believed in true love
In love that knows no pride
I once believed that people
Would be faithful and sincere
And other things it hurts to say
And doesn’t help to hear

I can’t get back the vision
Of a world without disguise
But sometimes I think I see it
When You open up my eyes

CHORUS
