<b>Gabriel's Sword</b> by <i>Runrig</i><br />n the middle of the schoolyard<br />

Where the bombs have lain to rest<br />

There's a child in the darkness waiting<br />

<br />

But the answers in the history books<br />

Are slowly burning down<br />

And the words that spell forgiveness<br />

Wear a thorny crown<br />

<br />

Gabriel's sword will pierce me no more<br />

I'll let my spirit soar so high<br />

Sure as it all comes<br />

From the father to the son<br />

We've got to learn to speak the truth to fly<br />

And it's a beautiful sky<br />

<br />

There is much that I have seen<br />

In this world they say is free<br />

That would make it almost seem untrue<br />

<br />

Many times I've walked the line<br />

Longing for the other side<br />

The only thing that changed my mind was you<br />

<br />

Gabriel's sword will pierce me no more<br />

I'll let my spirit soar so high<br />

Sure as it all comes<br />

From the father to the son<br />

We've got to learn to speak the truth to fly<br />

And it's a beautiful sky<br />

<br />

Gabriel's sword will pierce me no more<br />

I'll let my spirit soar so high<br />

Sure as it all comes<br />

From the father to the son<br />

We've got to learn to speak the truth to fly<br />

And it's a beautiful sky
