All the rivers running through you All the canyons deep and dry All the colors you imagined All the feelings you denied All the dreams you have awakened All the ways you were asleep All the kingdoms you’ve forsaken For the kingdoms you will keep We will keep The angels in the garden Are hiding in the snow You hold them for a moment And finally, you let them go Let go of what is lost Let go of what has hurt you As long as you are here with me I promise to love you
