Sanctuary
Callalily Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know, I can never be enough
But I'll always be here
I know, that my words are simple and shallow
But I mean everything I say and do

I know, I don't have a diamond ring
To put on your finger
But I will see to it,
That we will always be together

And I thank you
From the bottom of my heart
Because

You are my light
You are my home
You are my sanctuary
You are my peace
You give me hope
You are my sanctuary

You are my better half
You taught me things that I need to know
And you made me realize
That life is not just a simple song

And I thank you
From the bottom of my heart
Because, because

You are my light
You are my home
You are my sanctuary
You are my peace
You give me hope
You are my sanctuary?

You are my guide
When I am lost
You are my sanctuary
You are the heart
That keeps me alive
You are my sanctuary

You are the kiss
That makes me strong
You are my sanctuary
You are the warmth
When I feel cold
You are my sanctuary
