[Verse]
You are born from a force of your father
You were cut from the same cloth as I
You were brought forth, bathing in a light of your own
You're the life I hide asleep by my side
You're the language I speak in the blink of an eye
You're the promise that I'll keep until the day that I die
You're the stillness in the woes that follow me to my bed
You're the patience that I seek as time's not done with you yet

[Pre-Chorus]
But still, you're everything

[Chorus]
God could try all that he wants with all the time that he has
But he will never create something as divine as I have
You're a nearer kind of heaven than any god I've known
You're the universe I can't believe I can call my own

[Bridge]
Slow down waters, don't take him from me
I've waited a lifetime for him to be
Slow down waters, don't take him from me
I've waited a lifetime for him to be
Slow down waters, don't take him from me
I've waited a lifetime for him
Slow down waters don't take him from me, oh-oh-oh
I've waited a lifetime for him to be
[Vocalisation]

[Outro]
I'll become an angel just to watch over you
And wipe your tears when you fall
And when I leave this world
I won't be gone from you forever
So don't you cry for me at all
I'll become an angel just to watch over you
And wipe your tears when you fall
And when I leave this world
I won't be gone from you forever
So don't you cry for me at all
