Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
To spite the best
Of all your efforts
To give your love
How it falls victim
Unto a gate
No one has entered
Until the day true love is here
But you have not given all
Of your love away
Still precious parts of your heart
None of us have seen
You can't move a heart
When it's already hard
But I'm holding on
To who you are
And with eyes like a child I will see you again
Believe and I'll follow
Alive from the dead
No you can't move heart
If it's already hard
But I'm holding on
To who you are
And with eyes like a child I will see you again
Believe and I'll follow
Alive again
I will love you
With all I was made to
I will carry on
Carry on
In all I do
I will love you
