The touch of your hand Will let me know You take me in And let me go If not for love Why would we be? How is it done Two into one So easily? We're lifted up by angels Higher than the world Strong enough to leave it Bound to learn the secrets Angels never heard We're lifted up by angels You understand Yet never say How every plan Would fade away If not for love Where would you be? Ashes to dust Water to rust Away from me We're lifted up by angels Higher than the world Strong enough to leave it Bound to learn the secrets The angels never heard Close enough to heaven Above the rain The darkness cannot reach us Let the angels teach us Only love remains We're lifted up by angels Given wings to fly Leave the night behind us Trust the light to find us Even as we rise We're lifted up by angels Close enough to heaven Above the rain The darkness cannot reach us Let the angels teach us Only love remains We're lifted up by angels Higher than the world Strong enough to leave it Bound to learn the secrets Angels never heard Close enough to heaven Above the rain The darkness cannot reach us Let the angels teach us Only love remains We're lifted up by angels Oh
