Wings of Salvation Lyrics

"I never thought my creation
would allow brother to kill brother."
- Alberto Santos Dumont

I raise my head
Gazing into the blue
Wondering if we'll see through
The quest for wisdom and our dreams

I'd have your eyes to contemplate
And not afraid I could be too late
I'd cross the seven seas from above
Where the eagles dare to parade

What I've seen, what we shall see
Evolution is my prophecy
Nothing is out of reach

From the ground we'll jump so high
I believe that men will fly
Maybe we'll reach the stars

Inside my air machine I...
Will go the distance now
To see your smile I'm taking off tonight

Above the clouds
So very high (through the starry skies)
I will fly on the Wings of Salvation
And as I sail, over the land
(Throughout the storms and solitude)
I will find my way to you

Nothing matters way up here
Look at you down there, so tiny now
So far you disappear

We should make our way to space
Not fight wars, such a disgrace
I never meant this to be

Excerpt from Spring Sonata Op. 24 Allegro
by Ludwig van Beethoven

Above the clouds
So very high (through the starry skies)
I will fly on the Wings of Salvation
And as I sail, over the land
(Throughout the storms and solitude)
I will fly on the Wings of Salvation
