You're Everywhere
Benjamin Dunn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where the seahorse floats and the octopus play
I'd ask the whales if they know you
And they'd say "Yay, he tickles us everyday"
'Cause you're everywhere
You're everywhere, oh
And there I'd find a goat that knows your name
I'd ask the pine if they'd seen you
And they'd say "Yay, we praise him every day"
'Cause you're everywhere
You're everywhere,
God, you're everywhere
God, you're everywhere
God, you're everywhere
God, you're everywhere
I could go deep within the forrest
And frolic there with the jumping hare
We'd sing our songs and praise you together
Everybody sing along and worship forever
'Cause you're everywhere
God, you're everywhere
God, you're everywhere
God, you're everywhere
God, you're everywhere
