You can touch a cloud
To Life
Save one
With a smile
Delight the shadowscapes with candlelight
And lace each day through vandal night
Unhand the curse of aeons blighted
Reimburse the uninvited
Seek the holy grail and find it
Speak of every angel flighted
.
Speak of every angel flighted
.
Speak of every angel flighted
.
Speak of every angel flighted
.
You can touch a cloud
To Life
Save one
With a smile
Delight the shadowscapes with candlelight
And lace each day through vandal night
Unhand the curse of aeons blighted
Reimburse the uninvited
Seek the holy grail and find it
Speak of every angel flighted
.
You can touch a storm
To sleep
Taste one from a dawning dream
Silence tide of yawning screams
And fortify the falling beams
While soaring high above the clouds
Of ordinance relieved
Supported by the fortune of the breeze
.
Lace each day through vandal night
Lace each day through vandal night
Lace each day through vandal night
Lace each day through vandal night
Lace each day through vandal night
.
Flowers grow the wildest
Flowers grow the wildest
Flowers grow the wildest in the weeds

You can read the scars
Of trees
And each of them remembrance themes
Beseeching them to tend their tales
Undressing tears of blessèd keep
They weep to seep the sap of years in capture and release
The deadwood that sheds aptly at your feet
.
You can breathe it
Back to life
Belief in your eyes magnifies
And every teardrop sanctifies
The grounds foreseen enraptured rise
Then amplifies each boundless dream
And galvanises seed
Flowers grow the wildest in the weeds
.
You can bleed
To free the lost
To see them heed the call of ancients
With your sweetness of persuasion
You can heal each deep abrasion
Bride of Spring
Your wings sing hymns of wild imagination
In the garden of my dreams
I see your name and mine emblazoned
And the trees
About us reach
Appeased to free the ghosts of old and breathe
You can lead them Home
Redeemed
If only they believe
In thee
I believe
With all of me
That you were born to fly
You can touch a cloud
You see
And wake one
With a smile
.
