I have held your shoulders, I’ve seen where you sleep
I’ve pulled you from the waters, I have loved you naively
With all my might, with all my might
With all my might, with all my might
You have fed five thousand and I can only feed a few
Let me buy you a coffee instead of trying to pay my dues
I want to see, I want to see with my own eyes, what forgiveness looks like
I want to be, I want to be your hands and feet and cast out fear
Who am I to judge you? (you are LOVE)
Could a match defy the sun?(you are light)
You’ve pulled me from the waters (I am yours)
and you’ve loved me from day one (you are mine)
In spite of doubt, in spite of rage, in spite of fear, in spite of me
In spite of doubt, in spite of rage, in spite of fear, in spite of me
In spite of doubt, in spite of rage, in spite of fear, in spite of me
