Antoine Bradford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And there's a time for war
And there's a time for when it feels
like you're losing it all
But every time Your love breaks my fall.
So how could I not give my all to you
Cos if loving you is putting me in danger
Cos you have been the greatest gift to me
Apart from amazing grace
And when heaven and earth collide
And finally bring on the end of days
And loving you is putting me in danger eee
And I don't ever wanna be safe
And I don't ever wanna be safe
The greatest battle field
Is fighting for your heart
And I will never run away
And when arrows pierce my skin
My blood and sweat in the wind
Your love will always be my price
And If loving you is putting me in danger
And I don't ever wanna be safe
Cos you have been the greatest gift to me
Apart from amazing grace
And when heaven and earth collide
And finally bring on the end of days
And loving you is putting me in danger eee
And I don't ever wanna be safe
And I don't ever wanna be safe
Hmmmm hmmm
Cos if loving you is putting me in danger
And I don't ever wanna be safe
Cos you have been the greatest gift to me
Apart from amazing grace
And when heaven and earth collide
And finally being on the end if days
And loving you is putting me in danger eee
No I don't ever wanna be safe
No I don't ever wanna be safe
No I don't ever wanna be safe
No I don't ever wanna be safe
