Listen to Take Flight by Lindsey Stirling

I may make a believer out of you
.
Believe in me
Believe in you
Believe that we can see this through
Believe that we can paint the skies
With every colour shade and hue
Believe in me
Appreciably
And by the tides of ceaseless sea
I may make a believer out of you
.
Believe in me
Believe in you
Believe that we can see this through
Believe that we can paint the skies
With every colour shade and hue
Believe in me
Appreciably
And by the tides of ceaseless sea
I may make a believer out of you
.
See me through
I’m crystalline
And such need not be trivialised
For precious few reflect as I
And yet I’m glanced through distal eyes
The brittle ice about my heart
Is liquefied
As I embark on visualising through my art
Each part of my design
Using brush strokes broad and fine
I decorate each canvas
With exactness and abstraction
From the frame that reins inaction
Like a bird
I seek migration
Unforeseen of altercation
To a place where faith is stationed
In the wake of great expansion
Hands-on as I stoke the flame
Which blazes in us all
In the hope
That one lost soul
May heed begotten call
To soften fall
And steep the rise
Of undistracted eagle flight
Soaring
Scoring skies to prize
Each captive freed of equal height
.
Believe in me
Believe in you
See us through
We’re crystalline
In every colour shade and hue
We’re fluid whence we liquefy
Should we be viewed through distal eyes
Then we can lead them true
And famed be the believers we renew
.
Famed be the believers we renew
Famed be the believers we renew
Famed be the believers we renew
Famed be the believers we renew
Famed be the believers we renew
Famed be the believers we renew
Famed be the believers we renew
Famed be the believers we renew
(Renew)
(New)
.
Every day that passes
Sees me deepen as an artist
In my keep I hold the souls of old
And each extolled as masterpiece
Sweeping bold through arteries
The essence of the brave
And I am merely vessel keen to bleed them from my veins
Breaking chains to wake to life
My vital signs then stabilise
Heartbeat nowise plagiarised
Starfleet in dilated eyes
Should pain exceed the gain
Then ever heedful I remain
Yet see no reason to abstain
From reprising most primeval of refrains
(See us through
We’re crystalline)
.
See us through
We’re crystalline
See us through
We’re crystalline
See us through
We’re crystalline
See us through
We’re crystalline
See us through
We’re crystalline
See us through
We’re crystalline
Crystalline
.
Believe in me
Believe in you
Believe that we can see this through
Believe that we can paint the skies
With every colour shade and hue
Believe in me
Appreciably
And by the tides of ceaseless sea
I may make a believer out of you
Should we believe together
Through the never and between
In crystalline
Then we can see this through
And famed be the believers we renew
(See us through
We’re crystalline)
Famed be the believers we renew
(See us through
We’re crystalline)
.
Famed be the believers we renew
Famed be the believers we renew
Famed be the believers we renew
Famed be the believers we renew
.
Believe in me
Believe in you
Believe that we can see this through
Believe that we can paint the skies
With every colour shade and hue
Believe in me
Appreciably
And by the tides of ceaseless sea
I may make a believer out of you
(Crystalline)

Believe in me

Believe that we can see this through

Should we believe together
Through the never and between
In crystalline
Then we can see this through
And famed be the believers we renew
Famed be the believers we renew

I may make a believer out of you
I may make a believer out of you
