I've seen you hanging round This darkness where I'm bound And this black hole I've dug for me And silently within With hands touching skin The shock breaks my disease And I can breathe And all of your weight All you dream Falls on me it falls on me And your beautiful sky The light you bring Falls on me, it falls on me Your faith like the pain Draws me in again She washes all my wounds for me The darkness in my veins I never could explain And I wonder if you ever see Will you still believe? And all of your weight All you dream Falls on me it falls on me And your beautiful sky The light you bring Falls on me, it falls on me Am I that strong To carry on? I might change your life I might save my world Could you save me? And all of your weight All you dream Falls on me it falls on me And your beautiful sky The light you bring Falls on me, it falls on me And all of your weight All you dream Falls on me it falls on me And your beautiful sky And the light you bring Falls on me, it falls on me
