Gabriel's Sword

In the middle of the schoolyard
Where the bombs have laid to rest
There's a child in the darkness
Waiting

But the answers in the history books
Are slowly burning down
And the words that spell forgiveness
Wear a thorny crown

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

There is much that I have seen
In this world they say is free
That would make it almost seem
Untrue

Many times I've walked the line
Longing for the other side
Only thing that changed my mind
Was you

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
