I've been on the verge of breaking

Couldn't find my way out of here

I saw you standing there waving

Making all this hell disappear

You are my holy water

You are my river deep

Wash me away, take me higher

Somethin' about your love just sets me free

I had my time being wreckless

Holdin' back my heart for too long

All those empty nights made me helpless

I was fading like the end of a song

I got used broken hearts

Watchin' my world fall apart

Didn't know I needed you

But now I do, now I do

You are my holy water

You are my river deep

Wash me away, take me higher

Somethin' about your love just sets me free

Holy Water
