lyrics
Wide open world
Didn’t mean to overwhelm you with thoughts of what could be
But my dear darling girl, take your time to choose and choose what you need
In a world that will knock you down
Rise up on your feet, look it in the eyes and say that “I am only me
“Now I don’t mean to offend but I won’t apologize for this bleeding heart of mine.
“Jesus is the blood running through my veins.”
Won’t you open up?
Tell me less of what you know, more of what you love
Cause I won’t give up
There’s a question in your heart, a thought inside your mind that
He won’t be enough
Well the truth is that he is, but enough don’t understand that though he’s all you need
You’ll never have enough of him in the life you lead
Wide open world
Wide open world
There’s one thing to do
Don’t let go of the vine that holds you
Didn’t mean to overwhelm you with thoughts of what could be
But my dear darling girl, take your time to choose and choose what you need
In a world that will knock you down
Rise up on your feet, look it in the eyes and say that “I am only me
“Now I don’t mean to offend but I won’t apologize for this bleeding heart of mine.
“Jesus is the blood running through my veins.”
Won’t you open up?
Tell me less of what you know, more of what you love
Cause I won’t give up
There’s a question in your heart, a thought inside your mind that
He won’t be enough
Well the truth is that he is, but enough don’t understand that though he’s all you need
You’ll never have enough of him in the life you lead
Wide open world
Wide open world
There’s one thing to do
Don’t let go of the vine that holds you
