lyrics

Out in the open I'm trying to find
something to hold onto me as I'm crying
Out on the water my eyes do they see
a boat is approaching, I hope it's for me

Once in awhile when you're looking at stars
something inside seems to unlock your heart
Asking the question what is it you need
Send your answer on wind through the trees

Hey now now, hey now let's all sing along
to songs with the message t'was LOVE after all
That saved us with mercy in times of despair
That showed us the way with the wind in our hair

lalalala lalala lalala

Blinded by something my eyes could not see
looking away as I fell to my knees
Waves of redemption came spiraling down
I shot to attention I picked up the crown

I gathered my forces late into the night
preparing for battle before dark turned to light

Awash in the power invested in me
Awake in the knowledge of the way it could be

Hey now now, hey now let's all sing along
to songs with the message t'was LOVE after all
That saved us with mercy in times of despair
That showed us the way with the wind in our hair

...WITH WIND IN OUR HAIR

it sounds so outrageous it couldn't be true
coming from one who's so generally blue
Believe what I say it's the price that we pay
To lift up our sword from the stone.
