Embrace
Jake Hamilton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wanna feel your arms around me
Wanna feel your heart beating
Next to mine
And it's telling me:
It's all gonna be okay
It's all gonna be okay
It's all gonna be okay
Wanna see your face
Wanna see who I can be
Wanna see who I can see
In the mirror of your eyes
And you're telling me:
For I know if your eye is on the sparrow
Then your heart is on me
Yes I know, if your eye is on the sparrow
Then your heart is on me
Praise the Lord, oh my soul
All that is in me, praise his name
And I don't wanna wait to go to heaven when I die
I'm gonna go right now
I'm gonna go right now
And I don't have to wait to go to heaven when I die
I'm gonna go right now
I'm gonna go right now
'Cause this is the sound of Heaven invading earth
Oh this is the sound
This is the sound of heaven invading earth
