Spinning Lyrics


Was it loneliness that brought you here
Broken and weak
Was it tiredness that made you sleep
Have you lost your will to speak
Was the earth spinning round
Were you falling through the ground
As the world came tumbling down
You prayed to God what have we done
Free me from these chains
I need to change my way
Heal these broken wings
I need to fly far away, far away, far away
Was it emptiness that made you weep
No more secrets to keep
Was it bitterness that gave you time
To forgive your sins
Was the earth spinning round
Were you falling through the ground

As the world came tumbling down
You prayed to God what have we done
Free me from these chains
I need to change my way
Heal these broken wings
I need to fly far away
Free me from these thoughts
Long forgotten down below
Take these angel's words
Give them life to carry on, carry on, carry on
Free me from these chains

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
