Word on a Wing
David Bowie
Station To Station (1976)

In this age of grand illusion

You walked into my life out of my dreams

I don't need another change

Still you forced away into my scheme of things

You say we're growing, growing heart and soul

In this age of grand illusion you walked into my life out of my
dreams



Sweet name, you're born once again for me

Sweet name, you're born once again for me

Oh sweet name, I call you again

You're born once again for me

Just because I believe don't mean I don't think as
well

Don't have to question everything in heaven or hell



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, 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?



In this age of grand illusion

You walked into my life out of my dreams

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 you're still flowing

Just as long as I can walk, I'll walk beside you, I'm alive
in you

Sweet name, you're born once again for me

And I'm ready to shape the scheme of things



Ooh, ready to shape the scheme of things

Ooh, ready to shape the scheme of things

Ooh, ready to shape the scheme of things

Ooh, ready to shape the scheme of things

Ooh



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 Lord, Lord, my prayer flies like a 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, 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?
