Lyrics

Brave ly you let go of my hand.

I can’t speak yet you un der stand.

Where I go now I go a lone.

This path I walk these days (E)of stone.

And the (B7)an gels are (B7sus)call ing.

(E)I must go a way.

(A)Wait for me here.

Si lent ly stay

(E)and don’t ask me why.

(F#m11)On ly be lieve.

(A)this is (Bsus)not good bye.

All of my srength, all my de (F#m11)sires

still can not melt this breath of fire.

I go to meet some kind of test.

Bur y the truth that scars (E)my chest.

And the (F#m11)an gels are call ing and call ing.

(E)I must go a way.

(A)Wait for me here.

Si lent ly stay

(E)and don’t ask me why.

(F#m11)On ly be lieve

(A)this is (Bsus)not good bye.

I (C#m)gath er’d all my cour age.

I (A)shaved off all my fear.

With this (F#m11)ban ner on my shoul der

I hold your es sence

near.

And the (F#m11)an gels are call ing and call ing and call ing.

ly be lieve

(A)this is not

(E)good bye.
