"The Greater Wings" lyrics

"The Greater Wings"

I drank the air to be nearer to you
Voices widen through the room
Distant galaxies move
I'm not here for nothing
Music in the walls
You were in the moment
With your life across the chord

Was this always or never before?
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
You're always in the band
Forever underground
Name my grief to let it sing

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

To carry you up on the greater wings
