Messiah

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

As I stand, I'm not a messiah

So take me down back to the ground

I'm not your answer

I can't be your escape

You've raised me up, I'm in the sky

Don't be surprised when I can't deliver

The pulse you need, this old machine

Don't be surprised when I can't deliver

A heaving breath, mountain of steam

There may be gaps, my words may be broken

In spite of this (spite), give me your hand (give me your hand)

I will not lift you (I will not lift you)

But I can guide you (but I can guide)

I'll be your shadow (I'll be your shadow)

You'll be the light (be the light)

A balance will settle between us

You'll be the body (you'll be the body)

I'll be the spine (I'll be the spine)

Ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh
