When Lyrics - The Great Escape - Ilse Delange

Before me there is nothing 

An empty space, an empty heart 

Reaching for forever 

Without a place to start 

Before me there's this angel 

Who's too afraid to cry 

Her wings they have been broken 

Help me teach her how to fly 

Before me there's an ocean 

I'm familiar with it's blue 

It's beyond my every notion 

I know its depth is true 

Before me there's a mountain 

I have to climb to see 

But I know there will be waiting 

A better view of you and me 

When I've swam across the ocean 

When I've climbed the mountain top 

When I've seen the angel flying 

Then I can die to heal your heart 

Above me there's an endless sky 

But the clouds are never still 

In every way like you 

Do we love the thing we kill? 

Can we fight the doubts we keep alive? 

Can we overcome all fear? 

Is the battle ever over? 

Is it ever really over? 

When I don't try to stop the sky 

When I let the clouds be free 

When nothing scares me anymore 

And I killed the doubt in me 

When I've swam across the ocean 

When I've climbed the mountain top 

When I've seen the angel flying 

Then I can die to heal your heart 

Before me there was nothing 

Empty space, an empty heart 

Reaching for forever 

Without a place to start 

Before me there's this angel 

Who's too afraid to cry 

And her wings they had been broken 

And now I watch her fly
