On Your Wings lyrics
by Iron & Wine
[Chorus]
God, there is gold hidden deep in the the ground
God, there's a hangman that wants to come 'round
[Verse 1]
How we rise when we're born
Like the ravens in the corn
On their wings, on our knees
Crawling careless from the sea
[Chorus]
God, give us love in the time that we have
God, give us love in the time that we have
[Chorus]
God, there are guns growing out of our bones
God, every road takes us farther from home
[Verse 2]
All these men that you made
How we wither in the shade
Of your trees, on your wings
We are carried to the sea
[Chorus]
God, give us love in the time that we have
God, give us love in the time that we have
