rising, rising

lift up your eyes

child

lift up your arms

you are home

i know you're hurt

child

but you can't do this on your own

and i can see your blood flow

and i can feel your hurt now

did you think i'd let you be alone

and i can hear your sorrow

playing through the airwaves

i can tell your breath flows with my own

and i will find you somehow

let me be the salt in your wounds

clean you from the inside

all your love is gone now

i've never been a coward

my dear

but i'm afraid of what you are

lift up your eyes

child

lift up your arms

you are home

i know you're hurt

child

but you can't do this on your own

i'll untie you

from the strings caught in your wings

and i'll try to

fill in the gaps

all of the cracks they left behind
