You Lyrics

When I was born you were my breath

You warmed my skin against your breast

You were my food you were my light

You were my morning and my night

It's always only ever been

It's always only ever been you

And then I met you on the wall

You were seventeen inches tall

A painted smile across your face

I prayed for heaven, prayed for grace

I gave my life when I was ten

I prayed in tongues was born again

It's always only ever been you

You were there

As the world unfolded harsher fare

As the spiral pared the seams

And the brand new colors gleamed

I could only think of you

You were there

Every broken heart and tangled care

Jesus, Savior, Lord, and King

Oh my friend and everything

It was always only you

I saw the writing on the wall

You were a man and that was all

There was no God in heaven above

There was no perfect saving love

It was always only ever me

It was always only me

And then my world was torn apart

I felt a ground, I felt a heart

And all the universe was one

Just like a Father, Spirit, Son

My heart is open once again

A distant love, a forlorn friend

Maybe it's always ever been

You

If you are there

As the world unfolds its harsher fare

As the spiral pairs the seams

As the holy haunts my dreams

I will stay right here with you

You were there

Every broken heart and tangled care

Jesus, Teacher, Brahman Light

Son of God and Source of Life

And it's always only you
