Different Wings - Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Like the sphinx knows silence

And the pyramids know time

Like sisyphus knew regret

As he thought about his crime

As julius knew betrayal

As judas knew the kiss

And david with his nervous hand

Knew when not to miss

And helen in her blindness

Knew better how to touch

And lincoln in his wisdom

Knew the angels in each of us

Like the delphi knew tomorrow

Like crocodiles know the nile

Like michelangelo knew stone

A mother knows her baby’s smile

Then she placed her hands upon his lips

In something akin to a kiss

And in her arms he stayed asleep

As the night grew dark and the child dreamt deep

Dream, child

As childhood wants to do

Dream all this night will allow

Dream, child

Dream with an angel’s view

Out there safe in your clouds

Wait for me now

I will be there for you

No matter what

Tomorrow may bring

This i will vow

I will be there

For this child with different

Dream, child

Stars have been rumored to

See dreams within newborn eyes

And in their arms i believe they do

Keep safe until you arise

Wait for me now

I will be there for you

No matter what

Tomorrow may bring

This i will vow

I will be there

For this child with different wings

And so it’s here our story ends

Exactly where it did start

In that labyrinth of mystery

We call the human heart

For they say that without it

No one can truly live

And it also has been rumored

That without it, we cannot forgive

Merry Christmas!
