White Wings

Silence can hurt more than the sharpest word
Stabbing through the heart like a knife made of ice cold steel
Even one word can heal deepest scars that still hurt
So I could rest for a while and dream

Give me white wings to fly above
Across the distance so far just to see
That this endless longing is love
So I can rest still and caress this feel
I silently lull deep within

Myriads of mirrors cascade from the sky to show us the real
Where we walk apart, but still see each other in dreams
Smoke and dust never cut off the ways we haven’t reached still
Just to make sure this path shows the truth of yet untold feels

Give me white wings to fly above
Across the distance so far just to see
That this endless longing is love
So I can rest still and caress this feel
I silently lull deep within

Don’t say that my heart went wrong
This is the way I feel
I cannot help it but I long only more
For the truth that still lives in me

My longing is deep, but the reality is deeper
Every morn I keep on waiting within
Embracing the hope that goes sweeter
For one more try I’d give my everything
