I was a son inside of your mind,
While I was the orphan inside of mine
I was a priest enwrapped by your love,
While I was a beggar, a stray on the run
But you, you chased my body, emptied yourself,
Gave me the keys, entrusting yourself
The only doorway into your heart is on my knees,
The one I’m singing about
Hold me in heaven, hold me in love
Yours is the voice that I’m dreaming of
Hold me in heaven, hold me in love
Yours is the voice that I’ve been dreaming of
I had a room inside of your house,
While I was walking my neighbourhood doubts
I knew my need but turned to the cold,
While you were out walking my neighbourhood road
And you, you chased my body, emptied yourself,
Gave me the keys, entrusting yourself
Now through your hallway into your house,
A fire bleeds the colours all around
Hold me in heaven, hold me in love
Yours is the voice that I’m dreaming of
Hold me in heaven, hold me in love
Yours is the voice that I’ve been dreaming of
Hold me in heaven, hold me in love
Yours is the voice that I’m dreaming of
Hold me in heaven, hold me in love
Yours is the voice that I’ve been dreaming of
I’ve been dreaming of
