Lailee lailee lailee lila
Although you may stand here and swear on your life
Lailee lailee lay on your back
The wings you have worn are all ripped up and torn
Darkness will be waiting you will find
That darkness will be following right behind
The light has gone so far away
You can't see the brightness of the day
Still you believe with all your heart and soul
That there's a truth and it's worth reaching for
Only love can raise you up so high above
Higher than all of your prayers
Only love can raise you up so high above
Higher than all of your cares
Lailee lailee lailee lila
Everyone travels their journey through life
Lailee lailee hold out your hand
Your dreams have slipped right through your fingers like sand
In exchange for the long separation
In exchange for the long lonely teardrops
Only those who believe in their fantasies
Have a cross which they always must bear
And with your cold and shaking fingers
You're telling me the word of God himself
Only love can raise you up so high above
Higher than all of your prayers
Only love can raise you up so high above
Higher than all of your cares
