The Wings That Fly Us Home |
| There are many ways of being in this circle we call life |
| A wise man seeks an answer, burns his candle through the night |
| Is a jewel just a pebble that found a way to shine |
| Is a hero’s blood more righteous than a hobo’s sip of wine |
| Did I speak to you one morning on some distant world away |
| Did you save me from an arrow, did you lay me in a grave |
| Were we brothers on a journey, did you teach me how to run |
| Were we broken by the waters, did I lie you in the sun |
| I dreamed you were a prophet in a meadow |
| I dreamed I was a mountain in the wind |
| I dreamed you knelt and touched me with a flower |
| I awoke with this: a flower in my hand |
| I know that love is seeing all the infinite in one |
| In the brotherhood of creatures; |
| who the father, who the son |
| The vision of your goodness will sustain me through the cold |
| Take my hand now to remember when you find yourself alone |
| And the spirit fills the darkness of the heavens |
| It fills the endless yearning of the soul |
| It lives within a star too far to dream of |
| It lives within each part and is the whole |
| It’s the fire and the wings that fly us home |
| Fly us home, fly us home |
