Cinderella, will you ride
Will you ride with me?
Out into a smoke-filled night across the bridge of tears
Where children with their eyes sewn shut
Lay begging on the stones
And will we lead them from this dust?
Yes we will lead them home

All away, let it all away
Til there's nothing to carry and nothing to worry
Now fall away, let it fall away
Til you're light as a bird in the air

Cinderella riding down on the ebbing tide
Down to mend the broken cups and their foolish pride
Solace to the angry mob
Succor to the weak
Cinderella, cup of love, their pain is what you seek

All away, let it all away
Til there's nothing to carry and nothing to worry about
Fall away, let it fall away
Til you're light as a bird in the air

All away, let it all away
Til there's nothing to carry and nothing to worry about
Fall away, let it fall away
Til we're light as the birds in the air
Cinderella, queen of bells, Cinderella ride
Leave them with their fond farewells and their petty crimes
Leave behind the blood-let clouds
Rise up on sparrow wings
And you shall be a queen of shrouds
The queen of helpless things
