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
