Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hi, hello, wake from thy sleep
God has given your soul to keep
All of the power that burns in the flame
Ignites the light in a single name
[Verse 2]
Frederick, name of care
Fast asleep in a room somewhere
Guardian angels line the bed
Shed their light on my sleepy head
[Verse 3]
I am a threshold yearning to sing
Down with the dancers having one last fling
Here's to the moment when you said hello
Come on, my spirit, are you ready to go? Let's go
[Verse 4]
Hi, hi, hey, hey
Maybe I will come back someday now
But tonight, on the wings of a dove
Up above, to the land of love
[Verse 5]
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord, my soul to keep
Kiss to kiss, breath to breath
My soul surrenders, astonished to death
[Verse 6]
Night of wonder for us to keep
Set our sails, channel the deep
After the rapture, two hearts meet
Mine entwined in a single beat
[Verse 7]
Frederick, you're the one
As we journey from sun to sun
All the dreams I waited so long for
Fly tonight, so long, so long
[Verse 8]
Bye, bye, hey, hey
Maybe we will come back some day now
But tonight, on the wings of a dove
Up above, to the land of love
[Verse 9]
Frederick, name of care
High above, in sky that's clear
All the things I've been dreamin' of
All expressed in this name of love
[Verse 10]
Bye, bye, hey, hey
Maybe we will come back some day now
But tonight, on the wings of a dove
Up above
