Wings Are Wide Lyrics
The wings are wide, so cover me, come cover me
beyond the great divide.
Too long we waited, the color has now faded.
I've come to be at your side.
Beyond my brain, so rescue me, please rescue me
your flesh and flawed design.
I want to go, so let me float like melting snow.
My shell it now resigns.
Hey, how ya doing my love? Finally came up above.
Oh, I've missed your touch.
All of the children have grown, they've got kids of their own.
Oh you've missed so much.
Gone but I always stayed true. Yes, I waited for you.
But I've been alone, without you I've no home.
Peace at last, the storm and seas and broken mast.
I lay my final anchor, relinquish pain and anger.
Face to face. I long to be in the same place.
Our love letters I've burned. To you I must return.

Gorgeous song! I read that he wrote this for his grandmother that died. He sang to her at her bedside not long before her death. I love the imagery of her going to the afterlife to be with her husband again, and how she has been waiting for this moment since his death. Sad and beautiful.
