Take Me Back

I was the light

I was the fire

Now I walk

Through dust and wire

I lost the sky

I lost the sound

Fell too far

To climb back out

Take me back

To where I used to shine

Where the stars would know my name

And the silence felt divine

Take me back

To where I used to belong

Before the fall

Before it all went wrong

I tried to fight

I tried to pray

But every word

Just fades away

This ground is cold

My wings are ash

But I still dream

Of golden past

Take me back

To where the light would stay

Where the sun would touch my skin

And the shame would wash away

Take me back

To where I used to belong

Where the wind knew me

Where my soul was strong

I'm tired of running

Tired of pain

Let the sky

Call my name

Take me back

I'm breaking where I stand

I was yours before the fall

Now I'm reaching with both hands

Take me back

Let the fire take me home

I don't want the world

I just want my own
