G Em
and you will live my love
Am C G Em
and see the stars regain your starless night
G Em
and you will find your sun
Am C G Em
and learn the magic meaning of it's light

all souls will be yours to cherish
G Em C Am G
rising, falling, in their earthly flight
D
and you will fly

and i would love my love
Am C G Em
and he would seek a refuge in my eyes
G Em
but no resource of love,
Am C G Em
could keep him from the fire where loving dies
C D
and i would reach out my hand as he was
G Em C Am G
falling, falling to his home on high
D
and he would fly
G Em Am C G Em

give up your treasured wounds,
Am C G Em
let go the tempting memory of the pain

give up the vows you've taken

and you will live, and you will learn to fly again,

and you will fly.
