Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your skin is white, your eyes are blue this is the day
But the wind might change I will still remain
I will always be there for you
Those thoughts they circle in my mind, this is the day
The demons I can't leave behind this is the day
Don't be insecure I'll be at your door
I will always be there for you
Faith will save you, faith will save you
Faith will save you, stay safe
Par forth thy grace into my mind, this is the day
Par forth thy grace, thou art devine, this is the day
Don't be insecure I'll be at your door
I will always be there for you
Faith will save you, faith will save you
Faith will save you, stay safe
But the wind might change I will still remain
I will still be here
But the wind might change I will still remain
I will always be there for you
Faith will save you, faith will save you
Faith will save you, stay safe
