The weight on the wings

The Weight or the Wings

by Robert Ramage

Intro (spoken / soft guitar build)

I stood at the edge of something real…

Or maybe just something I needed to believe in.

Is love meant to lift you higher…

Or teach you when to let go?

Verse 1

Met you when my sky was quiet

When silence filled my room

You read the pages of my heart

Like you already knew

Every word you whispered softly

Felt like shelter from the rain

Like heaven reached down through the dark

And called me back again

Verse 2

We’ve been fire, we’ve been thunder

Storms we barely survived

Fell apart and stitched together

Every time we collide

I rush back with open hands

Before the dust can settle down

Chasing peace inside your eyes

Before we both might drown

Chorus

Are you the weight or the wings on my soul?

Are we rising or losing control?

If I stay, do I save us both — or fall too deep?

Is love standing strong or learning to leave?

I don’t know where this road will bend…

I just know I don’t want it to end

Verse 3

You woke colors in my spirit

Songs I didn’t know I had

Every chord feels like a prayer

Every line both good and bad

But sometimes I feel the gravity

Pulling harder than the light

Am I holding you together

Or losing my own fight?

Verse 4

I don’t fear the broken moments

Or the battles we’ve survived

I fear the day I look around

And forget how to feel alive

Do I stand here as your anchor

Or drift out with the tide?

Is love lifting up our hearts…

Or just teaching me goodbye?

Bridge

Maybe love ain’t black or white

Maybe faith walks through the gray

Maybe God puts souls together

Just to show another way

Not forever… not for nothing…

Just a spark to light the flame

And when the fire finally settles

We are never quite the same

Chorus (powerful)

Are you the weight or the wings on my soul?

Are we healing or losing control?

If I stay, do I save us both — or fall too deep?

Is love holding on or setting free?

I don’t know where this road will bend…

I just know I don’t want it to end

Outro

If I walk away, will I lose who I became?

If I stay too long… will I fade into the pain?

Standing here between heaven and gravity…

Trying to choose what love is meant to be.
