Who Is It (Live on June 25th, 2008) Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
His embrace, a fortress
It fuels me and places
A skeleton of trust
Right beneath us
Bone by bone
Stone by stone
[Pre-Chorus]
If you ask yourself patiently and carefully:
Who is it? Who is it?
[Chorus]
Who is it that never lets you down?
Who is it that gave you back your crown?
And the ornaments are, they're going around
Now they're handing it over
Handing it over
Who is it that never lets you down?
Who is it that gave you back your crown?
And the ornaments are, they're going around
Now they're handing it over
Handing it ovеr, handing it over
Handing it over
[Verse 1]
His embrace, a fortress
It fuels me and places
A skeleton of trust
Right beneath us
Bone by bone
Stone by stone
[Pre-Chorus]
If you ask yourself patiently and carefully:
Who is it? Who is it?
[Chorus]
Who is it that never lets you down?
Who is it that gave you back your crown?
And the ornaments are, they're going around
Now they're handing it over
Handing it over
Who is it that never lets you down?
Who is it that gave you back your crown?
And the ornaments are, they're going around
Now they're handing it over
Handing it ovеr, handing it over
Handing it over
[Verse 2]
He dеmands a closeness
We all have earned a lightness
Carry my joy on the left
I carry my pain on the right
[Pre-Chorus 2]
If you ask yourself, patiently and carefully:
Who is it?
[Chorus]
Who is it that never lets you down?
Who is it that gave you back your crown?
And the ornaments are, they're going around
And they're handing it over
Handing it over, handing
Who is it that never lets you down?
Who is it that gave you back your crown?
And the ornaments are, they're going around
Now They're handing it over
Handing it over, handing it over
Handing it over, handing it over
[Outro]
[Applause]
He dеmands a closeness
We all have earned a lightness
Carry my joy on the left
I carry my pain on the right
[Pre-Chorus 2]
If you ask yourself, patiently and carefully:
Who is it?
[Chorus]
Who is it that never lets you down?
Who is it that gave you back your crown?
And the ornaments are, they're going around
And they're handing it over
Handing it over, handing
Who is it that never lets you down?
Who is it that gave you back your crown?
And the ornaments are, they're going around
Now They're handing it over
Handing it over, handing it over
Handing it over, handing it over
[Outro]
[Applause]
