Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lift me up
Hold me down
Keep me close
Safe and sound
[Verse 2]
Burning in a hopeless dream
Hold me when you go to sleep
Keep me in the warmth of your love
When you depart, keep me safe
Safe and sound
[Verse 3]
Lift me up
Hold me down
Keep me close
Safe and sound
[Verse 4]
Drowning in an endless sea
Take some time and stay with me
Keep me in the strength of your arms
Keep me safe
Safe and sound
[Verse 5]
Lift me up (Lift me up)
Hold me down (Hold me down)
Keep me safe (Keep me close)
Safe and sound (Safe and sound)
[Verse 6]
Burning in a hopeless dream
Hold me when you go to sleep
Keep me safe
We need light
We need love
[Verse 7]
(Lift me up) Lift me up, in your arms
(Hold me down) I need love, I need love, I need love
(Keep me close) Hold me, hold me
(Safe and sound) Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
(Lift me up) Hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me (Hold me down)
(Keep me safe) We need light
We need love
