Lyrics

The Messenger

[Verse 1] When you feel you're alone, cut off from this cruel world Your instincts telling you to run Listen to your heart, those angel voices They'll sing to you, they'll be your guide back home [Chorus] When life leaves us blind Love keeps us kind, it keeps us kind [Verse 2] When you've suffered enough and your spirit is breaking You're growing desperate from the fight Remember you're loved and you always will be This melody will bring you right back home [Chorus] When life leaves us blind Love keeps us kind When life leaves us blind Love keeps us kind [Outro] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Oh, oh, oh, oh
