Sanctus Real Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heaven is holding out for you still.
Lay your hand on somebody's shoulder,
While you're here show someone you care
Show them you're there.
Inspiration is you and I, changing nations, changing lives.
As names and faces are passing us by.
But there is a reason our hearts won't grow colder.
There is one thing that won't ever change
It's always the same.
Seems we'll never do enough to tell the world about God's love.
But every soul is worth the fight 'cause we can change the world by changing just one life.
