Your Angel Wings - Echoes Of Reflection

When I was young, lost in translation In new school halls, a foreign nation Words were like stones inside my mouth You never laughed, you held me up Not blood, but sister, soul to soul Your family mine with no reserve While others turned, you held the line And taught my voice how to align You don’t like coffee, I’m no fan of tea But when you’re near, I’d drink a sea of it I’ll chug it down, let conversation flow I know you keep the bitter stuff For me, in your kitchen drawer Now there are oceans, now there are stones Miles and silence, but not alone! Time may sever, years may part But you still walk in tandem with my heart! Like yesterday has never left Your angel wings defy the theft Of distance, doubt, of end, of scar You lift me up to who we are The land grows wild, the clock unkind Yet when we talk the years unwind No strangers — just then and now You hear me fall before I cry Your wings are fast, they own the sky No weight, no ground, no mental strain Can end the trust, you drown my pain Libera me — from all I fear Audi me — even when I flee The silence, no longer deafening You got me — safe, chosen, free to be I’ll ask for one more cup of tea To buy an hour free of misery Cause every goodbye is like pouring rain Don’t want to part with you again… OVER THE OCEANS, UNDER THE STONES MILES AND SILENCE, BUT NOT ALONE! TIME MAY SEVER, YEARS MAY PART BUT YOU STILL WALK IN TANDEM WITH MY HEART LIKE YESTERDAY - WE NEVER LEFT YOUR ANGEL WINGS DEFY THE THEFT OF DISTANCE, DOUBT, OF END, OF SCAR YOU ARE THE FRIEND THAT FORGED MY STARS You lift me up You lift me up to who we are You lift me up to who— WE— ARE— FREE— TO— BE.
