Shaw Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you love me
I love you too
When this is over
I'll be with you

And I know, like Mother Earth
We will survive
So why am I feeling like the sky's falling in?

I know we'll make it
Our love is strong
Nothing will break it
No, no, no nothing can go wrong

And I know, like Mother Earth

We will survive
So why am I feeling like the sky's falling in.
