And set you free

You fled in wild dismay
Now your pain
Has made you blind as you can be

Echoes in the distance
Are almost all you hear from me
Each time I speak your name
You flee away

While the agonies of mindless flight
Grow more than you can bare
Still you think it's because of me
That you feel this way
[Refrão]
Dm
Soarin' far above the storm
F C
On wings spread strong and wide

Is the vision that you've buried
Am
In despair
Dm
You dash yourself against the stones
F C
And flutter terrified
F E
When my love will heal your wounds
Am
And lift you there

Everything you're longing for
Is here within my hands

To come to me
