Runrig — Gabriels Sword

[verse 1] In the middle of the schoolyard Where the bombs have laid to rest There's a child in the darkness Waiting [verse 2] But the answers in the history books Are slowly burning down And the words that spell forgiveness Wear a thorny crown [Chorus] Gabriel's sword Will pierce me no more I'll let my spirit soar So high Sure as it all comes From the father to the son We've but to learn to seek the truth To fly It's a beautiful sky [verse 3] There is much that I have seen In this world they say is free That would make it almost seem Untrue [verse 4] Many times I've walked the line Longing for the other side Only thing that changed my mind Was you [Chorus] Gabriel's sword Will pierce me no more I'll let my spirit soar So high Sure as it all comes From the father to the son We've but to learn to seek the truth To fly It's a beautiful sky It's a beautiful sky Gabriel's sword Will pierce me no more I'll let my spirit soar So high Sure as it all comes From the father to the son We've but to learn to seek the truth To fly It's a beautiful sky It's a beautiful sky It's a beautiful Sky (sky)
