[00:00.00]Silver Wings - Rory Block
[00:28.49]Two houses were born
[00:31.57]In a very different time
[00:35.71]And I saw one from above
[00:41.01]As I circled in a cloud
[00:45.31]And I was flying in a cloud
[00:47.36]And it had white porches
[00:52.35]And small windows
[00:55.57]It had a wild front yard
[00:59.75]It had a wild front yard
[01:02.03]And I was flying
[01:04.80]Trying not to fall too hard
[01:07.13]I was flying
[01:09.45]Trying not to fall down too far
[01:11.73]But my faith
[01:14.67]My faith can pull me up on silver wings
[01:19.63]Silver wings
[01:25.87]I heard a voice
[01:28.98]It was Wendy saying
[01:33.16]She said a soul wants to be born
[01:37.96]She said
[01:38.64]You will be its mother
[01:42.87]You know you are its chosen one
[01:45.03]I was nursing a baby
[01:48.17]He was my own little child
[01:52.50]And then he looked at me so wild
[01:57.29]He had laughter in his eyes
[01:59.54]But I was crying
[02:02.24]Trying not to fall to hard
[02:04.33]I was crying
[02:06.88]Trying not to fall down too far
[02:09.04]But my faith
[02:12.45]Faith can pull me up on silver wings
[02:23.61]I had a friend
[02:26.46]She was wise and patient
[02:30.70]She had raven black hair
[02:35.73]And her eyes were morning blue
[02:40.33]You know she always spoke the truth
[02:42.58]And she rode white horses
[02:45.49]That she raised on a farm
[02:49.92]While many birds were singing
[02:54.70]And there were birds everywhere
[02:57.07]And she was flying
[02:59.54]She didn't want to look down
[03:01.78]She was flying
[03:04.25]She didn't want to fall down
[03:06.20]But her faith
[03:09.57]Her faith could pull her up on silver strings
[03:14.51]Silver strings
[03:16.72]Oh yeah
[03:21.17]But I was crying
[03:23.40]Trying not to fall to hard
[03:25.55]I was crying
[03:28.07]Trying not to fall down too far
[03:30.26]But my faith
[03:33.41]Faith can pull me up on silver wings
[03:38.32]Silver wings
[03:41.09]Oh yeah
[03:47.50]Oh yeah
