I'll Leave It in Your Hands
Saga Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know about your reputation
I know you've seen better days
I've seen you turn the non believers
Into slaves
I just need some confirmation
What they're saying is it true
Believe in me and I'll believe in you
Now I know that you can help me
Turn this boy into a man
I'll leave it in your hands
I still have faith
I'm not the only one
From the cradle to the grave
I know I'll never change till I'm sure this can't be done
I still have faith
You know I've just begun




From the cradle to the grave
I won't be happy till I know I've had enough
