lyrics
TOUCHED BY ANGELS (K Langley)
Touched by angels’ wings tonight – they’ve left impressions on us
I’ve found my wings tonight with you – blissful
We never wanted anything at all, it took years of yearning
Deep inside, where no-one has seen the rivers of light
We are touched by angels’ wings tonight.
We are charmed by birds of many hues, spoken by the wind,
Held inside a dream.
The angels saw our plight, they flew from deep beyond the veil.
They touched us deep inside – feel the soft wings over the horizon.
Leaving me standing in this flesh alone, in this flesh alone.
The spirit has flown to the world outside the one we’ve known
And you can fly again, remember you once flew –
I was with you
I was with you
We are children of the breath – trying our strength in new ways
Moved by blissful things – opening our eyes
Borrowed time has a way of rushing by – not meeting your eye,
But turning you onto your back and leaving you
To die, of hunger and thirst, while others come first and you just cry.
You can fly again
You can fly again.
We are children of the breath
Touched by angels’ wings
We can fly if we believe
It only takes innocence
They touch us deep inside
We can see them if we try – if we try
We are children of the breath
Touched by angels’ wings tonight – they’ve left impressions on us
I’ve found my wings tonight with you – blissful
We never wanted anything at all, it took years of yearning
Deep inside, where no-one has seen the rivers of light
We are touched by angels’ wings tonight.
We are charmed by birds of many hues, spoken by the wind,
Held inside a dream.
The angels saw our plight, they flew from deep beyond the veil.
They touched us deep inside – feel the soft wings over the horizon.
Leaving me standing in this flesh alone, in this flesh alone.
The spirit has flown to the world outside the one we’ve known
And you can fly again, remember you once flew –
I was with you
I was with you
We are children of the breath – trying our strength in new ways
Moved by blissful things – opening our eyes
Borrowed time has a way of rushing by – not meeting your eye,
But turning you onto your back and leaving you
To die, of hunger and thirst, while others come first and you just cry.
You can fly again
You can fly again.
We are children of the breath
Touched by angels’ wings
We can fly if we believe
It only takes innocence
They touch us deep inside
We can see them if we try – if we try
We are children of the breath

about
BABAL England, UK
One speaks and a thousand misunderstand
where millions are silent and a thunderous applause erupts
where chatter
overwhelms humility and gossip destroys worlds
the tongues wag, the ears flap and the mind creates a wall
everything has been said but no one has understood
talking with conviction and concluding that knowledge is easy and effects a multitude of expanding smokescreens around truth
