Lyrics for Above All
Above all, it remains it remains. Vulnerable, it remains it remains. And they say that all has changed, And from that nothing remains. Once in a while they hang by their lives But, when the end comes near, cameras on, Will love disappear? And they say nothing has changed, And from that nothing remains. But as I saw her this night, Her eyes were glooming to find, love and conditions On dark unfriendly ground. 'Cause she's heading for the rooftops. She is running and she can't stop She is heading for the rooftops She is running and she can't stop. "Sit by my bed. Don't be scared!" Grandma said. "Read for me, Anna Oh be my bread". And she whispered: "Oh my dear. Death should not be a fear. So save me this night. Why won't you save me, from this time? Why won't you save me, from falling down? Falling down Falling down Falling down." 'Cause she's heading for the rooftops. She is running and she can't stop. She is heading for the rooftops. She is running She is running She is running So save her this night. Why won't you save her from this time? Why won't you save her from falling down
