Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wait, nervously muddle through
You found me here alone
I followed empty dreams for you
I wait out of the folly fields
Don't try to save me now
I wonder how it feels to be free
[Verse 2]
And I pray, I pray that I would sleep
Sleep for a thousand years there in your arms
Watch and let myself shine like the morning sun
Another day has come, so let me be
[Verse 3]
And if I fall
Let me fall
And if I fall
Let me fall
[Verse 4]
I wait, nervously muddle through
You found me here alone
I followed empty dreams for years
And I wait out of the folly fields
Don't try to save me now
I wonder how it feels to be free
[Verse 5]
And if I fall
Let me fall (Let me fall)
And if I fall
Let me fall (Let me fall)
[Verse 6]
And if I fall (I fall)
Let me fall (Let me fall)
And if I fall (I fall)
Let me fall (Let me fall)
[Verse 7]
Can see a fallen Angel
Ashes turn to flowers
In the miracle of time
[Verse 8]
No looking back when hope is pushing forward
Hand in the sky will lead us out of the darkness
No looking back when hope is pushing forward
Hand in the sky will lead us out of the darkness
[Verse 9]
No looking back when hope is pushing forward
Hand in the sky will lead us out of the darkness
No looking back when hope is pushing forward
Hand in the sky will lead us out of the darkness
[Verse 10]
No looking back when hope is pushing forward
Hand in the sky will lead us out of the darkness
No looking back when hope is pushing forward
Hand in the sky will lead us out of the darkness
[Verse 11]
No looking back when hope is pushing forward
Hand in the sky will lead us out of the darkness
No looking back, no looking back
