The Cross of Sand

Lailee Lailee Lailee Lee La

Although you may stand here and sear on your life

Lailee Lailee Lay on your back

The wings you have worn are all ripped up and torn

Darkness will be waiting for you will find

The darkness will be following right behind

The light has gone so far away

You can’t see the brightness of the day

Still you believe with all your heart and soul

That there’s a truth and it’s worth reaching for

Only love can raise you up so high above

Higher than all of your prayers

Only love can raise you up so high above

Higher than all of your cares

Lailee Lailee Lailee Lee La

Everyone travels their journey through life

Lailee Lailee hold out your hand

Your dreams have slipped right

Through your fingers like sand

In exchange for the long separation

In exchange for the long lonely teardrops

Only those who believe in their fantasies

Have a cross which they always must bear

And with your cold and shaking fingers

You’re telling me the word of god himself

Only love can raise you up so high above

Higher than all of your prayers

Only love can raise you up so high above

Higher than all of your cares
