You give me hope, and hope it gives me life
You touch my heavy heart, and when you do you make it light
As I exhale I hear your voice

And I answer you, though I hardly make a noise
And from my lips the words I choose to say
Seem pathetic, but it's fallen man's praise

Because I love you
Oh God, I love you
And life is now worth living
If only because of you

And when they say that I'm dead and gone
It won't be further from the truth
