Oh, Lord, here I go

I get the highs, but why the lows?

Set me up with all these souls

Need more time, but it don't come cheap

Some day I'll be on my knees

And I pray my heart don't miss a beat

Miss the lifeline that I've been given

Touch the sky and I kiss the sun

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
But here I am and I feel that rhythm

Miss the lifeline that I've been given

And all these colours in my head
