Lyrics

And I swear to God

I'm someone's daughter

I love too hard

Just like my mother

But when the saints come, come marching in

Please don't pass us by

Well I saw your face when I was dreaming

Was in some place, the Heaven's even

And there were waterfalls falling from the sky

And I knew the saints were on their way

I fall like a feather

You can meet me wherever the wind blows

You take off the pressure

Lifting me off my tippy toes

Did you read my letter?

Only Heaven knows

Ayy, ayy, ayy

The streets froze over 'cause it's so cold

Everything that glitter, no, it ain't gold

Risk your life and give up your soul

But you don't really care, but to each his own

But I know that they know that the throne is all mine

I'm comin' out strong, I'm 'bout to blow minds

And go off (Pow), and go off

Emeli, sing

Home's where the heart is

This is the place I rest my bones

I love you regardless

I can feel you beating in my soul

Well I work all night

My oil is burning

And I close my eyes

My heart is bursting

And when the saints

Come see the shadow

That they slaved from still burns

Well I held my breath when I was sinking

And by some grace, I heard you singing

And it's the sweetest melody

That's ever kissed my ears

When saints came marching in
