/// Lyrics:

Where is my freedom?
Is it in your embrace?
There are angels all around us
Yet they rarely leave a trace
Even in the teardrops
Measuring the pain
Can you find heaven in pillars of fate?
Didn’t you hear?
The spirits are busy

I held onto believing
I saw a different world
And all that was unfolding
Was only partially told
You may know the destination
But it makes no difference
When you’re up above the clouds
It’s just shapes of circumstance
Didn’t you hear?
The spirits are busy

Why give this gift
And take it away
God fell to earth and slept for a day
Wake up in clothing
Of skin and of bone
I’ll be your prince if you give me a home
Didn’t you hear?
The spirits are busy
