The Greater Wings

[Verse 1]
I drank the air
To be nearer to you
Voices widen through the room
Distant galaxy moon
I'm not here for nothing

[Chorus]
Music in the walls
You were in the moment
With your life across the chord
Was this always or never before?

[Verse 2]
I feel it, the tilt of the planet
Panorama of the valley
Measure me by what I've risked
For these are not ordinary moments
But the circle that I traced
In the palm of my hand

[Chorus]
You're always in the band
Forever underground
Name my grief to let it sing
To carry you up on the greater wings

[Verse 3]
Pink noise, moonrise, devotion
It is not what is seen
But what is known forever
I hope never to arrive here
With nothing new to show you
As so many others have

[Chorus]
And we hold the pact
Forever underground
Still rising to sing
To carry you up on the greater wings
