Suspended on silver wings!

And a thousand words one thousand confessions

Will cradle you making all of the pain you feel seem far away

But still I swore

To hide the doubt when I turn back the pages

But now I'm strong enough to know

It's not too late



Cause a thousand words call out through the ages

Will Fly to you

Even though we can't see I know they're reaching you

Suspended on Silver wings!

Oh a thousand words, one thousand embraces

Will cradle you

Making all of your weary days seem fa
