Lyrics
Another Life
Box like a cradle
Waiting all night
Little hands open wide
To the dawn of another life
Left at the gate
In the jade-green light
Laid down by love
In the arms of another life, another life
Love is not one country or one culture or one name
Love is blind; that?s not an empty saying
Named by your mother
For a bird in flight
For a safe journey home
Fly home to another name, another life
We belong to love wherever love is we shall be
I will fly to you and you to me
I will fly to you and you to me
