Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I'm dry land, You're wildfire

And You burned my old ways down

You're an ocean and I'm an island

You surround with Your love


Oh, oh

When I say I'm sorry

Oh, oh

Your love is only a step away

Oh, oh

When I say I'm sorry

Oh, oh

Your love is only a step away


Your love is only a step away


I'm a desert, You're a rainstorm

And You flood me with Your peace

I'm a mountain and You're the skyline

You surround me with Your love


Oh, oh

When I say I'm sorry

Oh, oh

Your love is only a step away

Oh, oh

When I say I'm sorry

Oh, oh

Your love is only a step away


Your love is only a step away

Oh, oh

When I say I'm sorry

Oh, oh

Your love is only a step away


Oh, oh

When I say I'm sorry

Oh, oh

Your love is only a step away
