Salvation
Kevin Ross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It ain′t all bad but it's sure not good (no)
You see the weight of the world
Either keeps you down or brings you out
So I'm bringing all my love to you
Out of all I did wrong
You always seen the best in me
Holding on to something that′s bigger than me
You bring me out the dark
′Cause you are my salvation
You lift me out the dark
'Cause you are my salvation
It′s a lot of days where I'm not quite as sure of myself
Where I′m headed? Who I've lost? And what I′ve gained, ooh
And when my sanity seems to be held by a thread
You are there to help me maintain
Out of all I did wrong
You always seen the best in me
And it keeps me holding on
Holding on to something that's bigger than me
You bring me out the dark
'Cause you are my salvation
You lift me out the dark
′Cause you are my salvation
