Lyrics

Octaves Above Us

She floats about as one of us
Blessing all ... despite our fuss
precious wings
of hummingbirds
Unseen and sweet
between our words

She's octaves up above us all
Though spent, she'd catch us
When we fall
Somehow blossoms perfectly
When Hark the Angel sings

A lark among the thorns and toads
Somehow she hides
beneath our nose
Exhausting dodging
Pointed fear
They lash out towards
Who's ever near

We're blinded by the brightest light
Deep in trenches
Deep in fight
But Angels calm and bring
Us home,
Home beyond our bones

How does an Angel walk
Among so many trapped souls suffering?
How does an Angel talk?
I think we only hear her
with our heart

She's octaves up above us all
Though spent, she'd catch us
When we fall
Somehow blossoms perfectly
When Hark the Angel sings

They never see
They never could
And she may feel misunderstood
Somehow she stays
Somehow she knows
Her love will be where e'r it goes

How does an Angel walk
Among so many trapped souls suffering?
How does an Angel talk?
I think we only hear her
with our heart

How does an Angel walk
Among so many trapped souls suffering?
How does an Angel talk?
I think we only hear her
with our heart

How?
How does an Angel walk?
How?
How does an Angel talk?
