12 Situations I watched an angel fall, and didn't have the arms to catch him
I sighed with the earth under the weight of fallen stars
And I shed tears with the moon as it silvered the night landscape.

Beyond us
Wrapped up in this seduction and betrayal, 
Wrapped up in disbelief and sarcasm.
Beyond the sky 
Where stars still breathe 
And the world hasn't dragged life down.

I saw a perfect vision 
You and I alone, 
Learning the names to call God 
Learning the words for holy.
Hearts beating with the earth
And music of all the ancient harmonies binding us

I collide 
This place cannot hold me 
I am boundless
I am spirit
Set me free or watch me die

Don't walk alone
Never into the shadows 
You may find you like it, you may find me there 
Waiting 
And knowing with this untethered mind 
Don't walk alone 
Without looking to see futures forming around you 
Within you

This life isn't enough for everything 
Isn't enough to feel
To understand.
Teach me the ways of listening 
And I will tell you everything.

Without words
Without action 
Without this to hold us down
