Lyrics
Lifting The Veil
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.
Some people look as if they're born to fly
Never need to try; it's right there all the time.
Others look as if they just have to wait
Call it luck or fate; the makers were unkind.
Spirit of water, here is the night,
Spirit of water, here comes your night.
But in the light of day, I see it flying all my way
It's just, it's just in reach,
It's brighter than the eye can teach
It's like a wind behind my sail.
It's lifting the veil.
I remember standing on some distant hill,
Fighting with my will; it's hard just to survive
And when the morning comes I'll take my fill,
And if I need to kill, don't mock me if I cry.
Then in the light of day, I see it flying all my way
It's just, it's just in reach,
It's brighter than the eye can teach
It's like a wind behind my sail.
It's lifting the veil.
And I can really see it out there.
And I can really see it out... there!
