 There’s a song  that’s inside  of my soul,
 It’s the one  that I’ve tried  to write over  and over  again.
 I’m awake  in the infinite cold,
 But you sing  to me over  and over  and over  again.
 (strummed)
  So I lay  my head  back down,
  And I lift  my hands  and
  Pray  to be only  yours,
  I pray  to be only  yours,
  I know  now you’re my only  hope.

 Sing to me  the songs  of the stars,
 Of your galaxy  dancing  and laughing  and laughing  again.
 When it feels  like my dreams  are so far,
 Sing to me  of the plans  that you have  for me over  again.
