lyrics

I can't hear the beating of the angels' wings
I don't hear no chorus of the angels sing
Got a head full of worries in this city full of sounds

Heaven is so high and I'm so far down
Heaven is so high and I'm so far down
Will the arms of heaven reach all the way to the ground?
Heaven is so high and I'm so far down

I can't see the face of the king and his crown
I don't see the light of truth shining all around
Sometimes all I see are shades of gray and brown

I'm thirsty at the river, I'm hungry at the feast
I've tasted the divine and it tastes bittersweet
I will do my duty but I'm crying to be found
