Lyrics

There was this note hung in my bleak sky
A wavering star, trembling, like wandering lullabies
So beauty is flawed
Gossamer wings torn from the light
Still, there to find
You are my piper, a luminous sound
The offering of frailty in your wounded song
A choice in the darkness to stand or to fall
I choose a life of meaning
I choose to stand and bleed for love
Oh for love
To live though the world was on fire

There was this night I finally saw you Beyond all the veils of meaning, naked of pride
Opened your hands, their delicate thorns
Such savage desire
Pain cannot hide
You are my piper, a luminous sound
The offering of frailty in your wounded song
A choice in the darkness to dance or to fall
I choose a life of meaning
I choose to stand and bleed for love
Oh for love
To live though the world was on fire

Oh dance like the world was on fire
Kiss me, sing my name
Let my heart be glass
And love though the world was no more

You are my piper, a luminous sound
The offering of frailty in your wounded song
A choice in the darkness to dance or to fall
I choose a life of meaning
I choose to stand and bleed for love
Oh for love
To live though the world was on fire
There was this note
The call of freedom
