lyrics

i see lily greeting the angel
that will take her far from here
the wind is light beneath her feet
when her body disappears
she goes ever softly toward the glimpse
of a haunting peaceful night
her mind collapses finally
but her soul now is bright

i see lily greeting the angel
that’s watched her from afar
she turns into the sun
when all her life, she was a star
the wings that take her carelessly
toward the figure in the light
will say hello now she has grown
and her soul is now bright

i see lily greeting the angel
from the mirror or her dreams
she feels the glow of happiness
like a long-forgotten breeze
and the years of rage show in her face
with a heartache and a sigh
but nothing truly matters now
her soul is now bright

i see lily greeting the angel
that has been here from the start
the darkness in her mind
had found its way to her heart
and though everything is hazy
to her, she sees alright
for everything is glowing now
and her soul is now bright

i see lily greeting the angel
whose name, she can’t recall
she remembers thoughts of blinding love
but it’s for no one at all
for the hero of her day dreams
is no longer in sight
but she has no fear of anything
for her soul is now bright

i see lily greeting the angel
whose head is in the clouds
she gazes at it longingly
when hers is stuck in the ground
so maybe this time she will take her wrongs
and make them right
because anything is possible
for her soul is now bright

i see lily greeting the angel
that’s seen inside her mind
though she’s never seen it
their lives have been intertwined
she’s terrified of finding out
what truly lies inside
but there’s mp fear inside her heart
her soul is now bright

i see lily greeting the angel
that will take her far away
she takes the hand and feels her life
move past what did remain
she was once the my hopes and fears
my fearful blushing bride
but nothing truly matters now
her soul is now bright
