Lailee lailee lailee lila Although you may stand here and swear on your life Lailee lailee lay on your back The wings you have worn are all ripped up and torn Darkness will be waiting you will find That darkness will be following right behind The light has gone so far away You can't see the brightness of the day Still you believe with all your heart and soul That there's a truth and it's worth reaching for Only love can raise you up so high above Higher than all of your prayers Only love can raise you up so high above Higher than all of your cares Lailee lailee lailee lila Everyone travels their journey through life Lailee lailee hold out your hand Your dreams have slipped right through your fingers like sand In exchange for the long separation In exchange for the long lonely teardrops Only those who believe in their fantasies Have a cross which they always must bear And with your cold and shaking fingers You're telling me the word of God himself Only love can raise you up so high above Higher than all of your prayers Only love can raise you up so high above Higher than all of your cares
