Boy Of The Falling Stars

(Verse 1)

I heard the night crack open, quiet blue and thin,
Like lantern light of starlight trembling in the wind.
A shadow crossed the moonbeam, soft as falling snow,
And in my arms a stranger landed, far from home.

He didn’t speak of kingdoms, didn’t claim a name,
Only held the sky like something he could break.
In his hair, the scent of rain on miles of rusted steel,
And in his eyes, tomorrow bright enough to feel.

(Pre-Chorus)

So I laid my coat around him, stitched with borrowed heat,
And he looked up like sunrise learning how to breathe.
He pointed past the rooftops, past the blackbird’s flight,
As if he left a doorway standing in the light.

(Chorus)

Carry me, carry me, over the sleeping town,
Where the clouds are a cradle and the fear can’t follow down.
If I fall, will you call me by the truest part of me?
He Was The the boy who fell from heaven teach my heart to keep the sea.

And I’ll sing, I’ll sing, till the iron skies turn kind,
Till the morning finds our footsteps like a promise it designed.
Hold me close, hold me close, like a lantern in the dark,
Cause I’m still learning how to be a spark.

(Verse 2)

We walked where grasses whispered through the cracks of stone,
Past gears that forgot their purpose, turning all alone.
He traced constellations on a puddle’s silver face,
Like every little reflection was a map back to that place.

He laughed once, small and sudden, like a bell you barely hear,
And every heavy thing in me grew lighter, disappeared.
But when the sirens rose up, hungry as a storm,
He flinched like thunder living underneath his skin.

(Pre-Chorus)

So I took his shaking fingers, made a vow without a word:
No cage will close around you, not a chain, not even hurt.
If the world forgets its mercy, I will remember twice
I’ll build a bridge of music to the edge of night.

(Chorus)

Carry me, carry me, over the sleeping town,
Where the clouds are a cradle and the fear can’t follow down.
If I fall, will you call me by the truest part of me?
He Was The the boy who fell from heaven teach my heart to keep the sea.

And I’ll sing, I’ll sing, till the iron skies turn kind,
Till the morning finds our footsteps like a promise it designed.
Hold me close, hold me close, like a lantern in the dark,
Cause I’m still learning how to be a spark.

(Bridge)

There’s a place above the silence
Where the old machines still dream,
Where the wind says keep on going
Through the seams.

If my voice is only human,
Let it still be brave and true,
Every heart that ever wandered
Needs a view.

(Final Chorus)

Carry me, carry me, past the edge of cloud,
Where the broken wings can listen and the quiet can be loud.
If I fall, will you find me where the gentle currents lead
He Was The the boy who fell from heaven plant my name like a seed.

And I’ll sing, I’ll sing, till the iron skies turn kind,
Till the morning finds our footsteps like a promise it designed.
Hold me close, hold me close, let the whole world start to see
We were never meant to drown
We were meant to be free.
