Lyrics
I thought when someone died
the spirit flew over furthest field
Now I see death will leave behind
A scrap of light, a broken smile
The remnants by which I might be healed
The dead lift me up
In brightest sky, the clouds below me race
The dead lift me up
I see them face to face
Held high by these strong hands
breathing the wind, I am born again
The mountain flowers, the desert sands
surround me now, comfort me now
Through death and dreaming we find our kin
The dead lift me up
In brightest sky, the clouds below me race
The dead lift me up
I see them face to face
Our voices shake in song
Through memories we have long endured
Though this begins to make us strong
the combing through of scraps of love
it is by living that we are cured
The dead lift me up
In brightest sky, the clouds below me race
The dead lift me up
I see them face to face
The dead lift me up
In brightest sky, the clouds below me race
The dead lift me up
I see them face to face
I see them face to face
I see them face to face
