Gloria
Theodor Jensen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gloria, again I turn to you
You're the only one
That I can talk to
I've become withdrawn
So afraid I
That I might hurt someone

I know I might
Be asking for too much
But I can't hold on
To what I
I can't touch
You know it to be true
That I'd give my life
If you only
Only asked me to

With you
Everything's in place
Standing in your grace
Nothing is too late

I never knew
Where you appeared from
And I never knew
Just when you
You would choose to go
There's a time for everything
And in you the end always is
Always is
A new beginning
A new beginning

So dry
All them hopeless tears
Next time my prayers are real
I know that I will hear




Glory
Glory
