Lyrics:
In your arms you are holding up the heavens,
young boy, you’ll live up to be a legend!
And though the clear blue wind blows
right on the door of my heart for awhile,
You’re standing there, and calmly you stare,
and without a care I see you smile
Too deep in yearning, we need
something to hold and something to keep
Innocent eyes could not realize the meaning of destiny
But someday I promise that
you’ll start to notice what’s there on your shoulders
Someday wings that are strong,
they will guide you along to the future that holds your fate!
Let me tell you a cruel angel’s thesis -
Flying high from the window, finding egress
There is something betraying all my memories,
burning pathos, emotion overwhelming!
In your arms you are holding up the heavens,
young boy, you’ll be shining like a legend!
In me, a cradle will sleep that’s
filled with the love that I swear I will keep
I know there will be a servant of dreams -
they’ll find you one morning, you will see!
The moon is shining on you,
although you are smaller and weak, it is true
If I could hide away the unwinding of days,
I swear that I’d do it today!
And if there’s a reason in faith worth believing
the heavens ensured we would meet
Your ears and your eyes will see me as the bible that
teaches you how to be free!
Let me tell you a cruel angel’s thesis -
Sorrow follows and now the world is weeping!
Come to life with the power you have found,
you shine much brighter than everyone around you!
In your arms you are holding up the heavens,
young boy, you’ll be shining like a legend!
Weaving together their love since forever is
how we create history
I live till the end, I’m prevented again,
onto godhood I cannot ascend!
Let me tell you a cruel angel’s thesis -
Flying high from the window, finding egress
There is something betraying all my memories,
burning pathos, emotion overwhelming!
In your arms you are holding up the heavens,
young boy, you’ll be shining like a legend!
