Lyrics
I was born
One half of a winged pair, too heavy is the weight we bear
My dearest blood
One has to sacrifice so the other may rise
So we divide
Soon we'll split the sky in two, I'm the black and you're the blue
I've never been so far from you
I'll never be closer to you
Closer to you than now
My dearest boy
Oh, how hard it must be to grow up in the shade of my tree
So you go low
If I am the one to soar, you will walk on the ocean floor
Quite the mirror, you and I
I am the highest flight and you, the deepest dive
I've never been so far from you
I'll never be closer to you
Closer to you than now
