The angels in the garden

Are hiding in the snow

You hold them for a moment

As beautiful as long ago

‍

Careless as a child

You live with what you know

You see the earth is frozen

But you believe that life will growa

‍

Let go of what is lost

Let go of what has hurt you

As long as you are here with me

I promise to love you

‍

You see what you imagine

The ghost of something good

You reach into the silence

An empty place where someone stood

‍

I’ve come to stand beside you

To give you what I could

To tell you I remember

The promises of childhood

‍

Let go of what is lost

Let go of what has hurt you

As long as you are here with me

I promise to love you

‍

SPOKEN WORD:

there was a beautiful princess

and there was an evil queen

the queen was so jealous

she gave the gift

of a poison needle

and the needle plunged deep

and the put the princess into

1000 years of sleep

(1000 years of sleep)

‍

and the whole kingdom wept

and they knew they would not survive

as the princess slept

and so they came to share her fate

to sleep alongside her

and for 1000 years

to wait

‍

to wait

‍

for true love...

‍

for true love...

‍

is what brings us all back to life

‍

when we have slept for a long time

what do we dream of

what do we wish for

as the light comes down all around us

and life goes on without us

and what is deep inside us

is long forgotten

‍

almost gone

‍

and we are still waiting

‍

and we are still waiting

‍

and we sleep on

‍

and we sleep on

‍

in our own secret  

kingdom of hope

‍

we can feel

love

must be coming

love

must be coming

‍

CHOIR:

oooooooooh

ooooooooooh

let go

let go

let go

let go

let go

let go

and I promise to love you

and I promise to love you

and I promise to love you

(repeats)

and I promise

To love...

‍

All the rivers running through you

All the canyons deep and dry

All the colors you imagined

All the feelings you denied

‍

All the dreams you have awakened

All the ways you were asleep

All the kingdoms you’ve forsaken

For the kingdoms you will keep

We will keep

‍

The angels in the garden

Are hiding in the snow

You hold them for a moment

And finally, you let them go

‍

Let go of what is lost

Let go of what has hurt you

As long as you are here with me

I promise to love you
