Word on a Wing Live at the Elysée Montmartre Paris on 14th October 1999 by David Bowie Lyrics
[Intro]
This song is from an album called Station to Station and it's called-- I'm singing all the tough ones in the beginning, I can't believe I've done this, oh well-- it's called "Word on a Wing"
[Verse 1]
In this age of grand delusion
You walked into my life out of my dreams
I don't need another change
Still you forced a way into my scheme of things
You say we're growing
Growing heart and soul
In this age of grand delusion
You walked into my life out of my dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh sweet name, you're born once again for me
Oh sweet name, you're born once again for me
Oh sweet name, I call you again
You're born once again
Just because I believe don't mean I don't think as well
Don't have to question everything in Heaven or Hell
[Chorus]
Lord, I kneel and offer you my word on a wing
And I'm trying hard to fit among your scheme of things
It's safer than a strange land, but I still care for myself
And I don't stand in my own light
Lord, oh Lord, my prayer flies like a word on a wing
My prayer flies like a word on a wing
Does my prayer fit in with your scheme of things?
[Verse 2]
In this age of grand delusion
You walked into my life out of my dreams
Oh sweet name, you're born once again for me
Just as long as I can see
I'll never stop this vision flowing
I look twice and still you're glowing
Just as long as I can walk I'll walk beside you
I'm alive in you
Oh sweet name, you're born once again for me
And I'm ready to shape the scheme of things
[Bridge]
Ooh, ready to shape the scheme of things
Ooh, ready ready ready
Ooh, ready to shape the scheme of things
Ooh, ready ready ready
Ooh...
[Chorus]
Lord, I kneel and offer you my word on a wing
And I'm trying hard to fit among your scheme of things
It's safer than a strange land, but I still care for myself
And I don't stand in my own light
Oh, oh Lord, Lord, my prayer flies like a word on a wing
And, and I'm trying hard to fit among your scheme of things
It's safer than a strange land, but I still care for myself
And I don't stand in my own light
Lord, oh Lord, my prayer flies like a word on a wing
My prayer flies like a word on a wing
Does my prayer fit in with your scheme of things?
[Outro]
Thank you
