[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)
