Lyrics

There's a little girl kneeling in the evening light

praying to her father in the sky

what do I have to do to raise above this dirt

why do we have to die

And the wind moves the curtains

And it's been such a dry July

When will we rise above our nation

When will we float up to the stars

When will we dance with the angels

start seeing with our hearts



Ascension



Why do I cover my heart when I sleep

Why can't I find any lasting peace

Starry nights and dewy grass

barefoot dreams that didn't last

Still waiting for my savior to come

Still the moon shines through my window

tells me after night I'll find the sun

When will I rise above this nation

When will I float up to the stars

When will I dance with the angels

start seeing with my hearts



Ascension



Rise above the noise and din

we are more than our suffering

Made of flesh and born to roam

But like the wild dove we’ll find our home

When will we rise above our nations

When will we float up to the stars

When will we dance with the angels

start seeing with our hearts



Ascension
