Melissa Etheridge This Is Not Goodbye song lyrics

Bravely you let go of my hand

I can't speak yet you understand

Where I go now I go alone

This path I walk these days of stone

And the angels are calling

[Chorus:]

I must go away

Wait for me here

Silently stay

And don't ask me why

Only believe

This is not good bye

All of my strength all my desire

Still cannot melt this breath of fire

I go to meet some kind of test

Bury the truth that scars my chest

And the angels are calling and calling

[Chorus]

I gathered all my courage

I shaved off all my fear

With this banner on my shoulder

I hold your essence near

And the angels are calling and calling and calling
