Never for the grace of God

Oh, I

Am
I found Heaven on Earth

I've been alone

When I'm surrounded by friends

But I still go home knowing that I've got you
F C F - G
There's only us when the lights go down

Am
You are my Heaven on Earth

You were my hunger, my thirst

And then hear this voice inside
