Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Caught in a dream of where I want to be
Wrapped in a web of where I am
I feel a wall between what is and what should be
You find find me waiting for a miracle
You hear me praying for a plan
You are the only one prepared to rescue me
[Chorus:]
Then you take away the distance
found between the truth and me
And you give a simple reason to my restless rhyme
Woa, hide me in the heaven
You have held within your hand
And make a way to find a way to soothe my mind
There is a way that might seem right to me
A dim reflection of what's good
Just an illusion of the best that I can be
But there's another path You offer me
I wish I was always understood
Some way You see right through my thoughts
And know my needs
[Repeat Chorus]
Please come soothe my soul
You always take away the distance
found between the truth and me
And you give a simple reason to my restless rhyme
And you hide me in the heaven
You have held within your hand
You always make a way to find a way to soothe my mind
