lyrical question

[snowmankiller]

I've spent the past few days searching for the lyrics to the song "on eagles wings", and I cant' find them. Does anyone know where they're at?

 

[PatrickHoyt]

Im guessing, now don't quote me, but Im guessing since the album with that song isn't out yet, you likely won't find the lyrics.

 

[Killerah]

Here are the lyrics as best as I can figure them out:

The tears stream down her face onto the cold hospital bed
Just like a prisoner between four ugly walls
The fear she can't control is running rampant in her head
With every day she's spent just waiting for that call

And I will never leave her side
We walk the tightrope between faith and fear each moment of our lives
But then the darkest hour of night is turned to day
Another miracle another act unfolding in this play and I'm blown away

The wine overflows and my cup runneth over again
(something I can't decipher) with these blessings I can't comprehend

chorus
You lift my spirit to the sky above to fly away to fly on eagles wings
You lift the fallen back on high again to coronate the King above all kings
All honor all glory raise to Your majesty on eagles wings

I looked him in the eye and played those words over and over in my mind
but that can't be what he just said
I heard it for myself and know that life can be unkind
but can't you see I'm much too young to lose my dad

(can't get much out of this line)
you hold the keys to all life and all death and all time in your hands
chorus

(he layers 2 different vocal tracks here, and this is what I hear)
Every tribe and every nation lift a song of praise on high on eagles wings
With the tongues of men and angels let your horn reach to the sky on eagles wings

Maybe Matt can fill in the gaps for us?

Nice job! Here ya go:

ON EAGLES’ WINGS
(Smith)

The tears stream down her face onto the cold hospital bed
Just like a prisoner between four ugly walls
The fear she can’t control is running rampant in her head
With every day she spent just waiting for that call
And I will never leave her side
We walk the tightrope between faith and fear
Each moment of our lives
But then the darkest hour of night is turned to day
Another miracle, another act unfolding in this play
And I’m blown away
The wine overflows, and my cup runneth over again
I’m blown away
My thankfulness grows with these blessings I can’t comprehend

You raise my spirit to the sky above to fly away
To fly on eagles’ wings
You lift the fallen back on high again to coronate
The King above all kings
All honor
All glory
Raised to Your Majesty on eagles’ wings

I looked him in the eye and played those words over and over in my mind
But that can’t be what he just said
I heard it for myself and know that life can be unkind
But can’t you see I’m much too young to lose my dad?
But I’m blown away
When you laugh at the odds, for the doctors cannot know your plans
I’m blown away
You hold the keys to all life and all death and all time in your hands

You raise my spirit to the sky above to fly away
To fly on eagles’ wings
You lift the fallen back on high again to coronate
The King above all kings
All honor
All glory
Raised to Your Majesty on eagles’ wings

Every tribe and every nation
(Lift your voices and sing)
All in heaven, all creation
Let the tongues of men and angels
(Lift your voices and sing)
All ye blessed, all ye thankful, sing!

You raise my spirit to the sky above to fly away
To fly on eagles’ wings
You lift the fallen back on high again to coronate
The King above all kings
All honor
All glory
Raised to Your Majesty on eagles’ wings

 

[Killerah]

Ah, awesome! Those lyrics I didn't hear are really good ones! But what about the part near the end where you say something about lift a song of praise on high on eagles wings and let your horn reach to the sky on eagles wings? Is that in the official lyrics?

 

[dwellceller]

Great lyrics Matt !!

I can't wait to get the album with not only great songs but lots of good lyrics like this to uplift me!

 

[Matt Smith]

Speaking of "On Eagles' Wings," I uploaded the final (unmastered) album mix to the MySpace page tonight. Enjoy!

[koffish]

Thank you, Matt!
It's such a great song, as I wrote on myspace I still can't wait to get my hands on this album! Your music means a LOT to me. Really!

God bless you!

 

[Shamiah]

THANK YOU! Great song!

 

[Killerah]

Sweet! I LOVE the new mix! The drums seem fuller and the guitars are way more pronounced in the solo parts. The effects on the guitars at the beginning fit really well too, and that additional vocal track at the end is perfect.

 

[Axl Torn]

Amazing mix Matt! Even greater of a song tho.
Love the all the small added parts.

Matt,

I have to tell you that this is one of the best songs ever written.

PERIOD!

As a musician and songwriter - and I've been playing longer than you've been walking the Earth - I'll be 40 in a few months and have played music since I was 8 - I can say without a doubt that you are definitely an incredibly gifted songwriter.

Am I the only one that feels like crap after listening to the same song like 80 000 times in a row, and knowing it so BAD that it loses the effect it had when you've first listened to it? Thank God I'm not past that point yet (I've listened to it only 50 000-ish times), but it's only a matter of time...
Any advice on how to fix this mental issue?

Take a break by listening to St Anger.

 

[Aletheus]

No, sorry. I'd rather listen to "music" than St Anger.

 

[Paper Carnival]

that's the point exactly
