The lyrics use the figure of Sophia, often associated with wisdom, as a metaphor for the presence of God that knows and sees the singer completely. The song conveys a desire to be transformed into the likeness of Jesus and to dwell in God's sacred heart, where burdens are lifted.

She's so, you know
Makes me want to be like Jesus
I am your hands
Tell me what your plan for this is
In your sacred heart, I burn for you
Could I burn with her in a flame of truth
Where all my burdens float like an angel feather?
Sophia, you know me
Sophia, you see through me
Sophia, dance with me
Help me make it through the night
Dark night, so bright
Now I see the way of passion
Let go, my soul
Now it only longs for your affection
In your sacred heart, I dwell with you
Could I dwell with her like the angels do
Where all my burdens float like an angel feather
Sophia, you know me
Sophia, you see through me
Sophia, dance with me
Help me make it through the night
Help me make it through the night
Help me make it through the night
Sophia, Sophia
Sophia, Sophia
Sophia, Sophia
Sophia, Sophia
Sophia, Sophia
