Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For blue in the sky
Yes, you are the reason why
Snow covers winter
And melts into spring
And rivers meet the sea
God is here for you
And you were made for him
Cause he has always loved you
His promises are true, so true
If you...
Come as you are, don't change a thing
Open your heart, he'll walk right in
Come as you are, no alibis
His love for you, will never die
There is a heaven
Open your eyes
And there you have no disguise
He'll never leave you
No need to hide
He's always by your side
If you just believe
There is a way you'll see
It's just one step to eternity
And he will always love you
This promise will be true, so true
If you...
Come as you are, don't change a thing
Open your heart, he'll walk right in
Come as you are, no alibis
His love for you, will never die
