There's no embers in the skies tonight
No warmth in the chill dead of night
Oh the heavens begin to cry
Oh the birds, they're losing flight

The winds send the trees dancing
The flowers begin their wilting
Oh the petals blacken before falling
The grounds are slowly dying

Oh the heavens, oh they cry
Oh the birds, they're losing flight
But if we learn nothing at all
It's our downfalls that make us strong
Gotta die a little to survive
Ride a little to get by
Keep on going until you get it right
Love through life, it's the meaning of life

There's no sunlight only hues of grays
No warmth from the icy falling rain
Oh the heavens are crying
Oh the birds, they're fighting

Oh the heavens are crying
Let love be your warmth, reason for surviving

Oh the heavens, oh they cry
Oh the birds, they're losing flight
But if we learn nothing at all
It's our downfalls that make us strong
Gotta die a little to survive
Ride a little to get by
Keep on going until you get it right
Love through life, it's the meaning of life

There's no embers in the skies tonight
No warmth in the chill dead of night
Oh but the heavens won't cry for long
Oh the birds will fly above and beyond
