Hear these words that I sing to you
I will make it clear, it's me and you
We can have this love that we’ll never lose
It's bigger than us, mhm

Take my hand and I'll lead you home
Can you understand?
You will never be alone

'Cause I can feel the universe

And it's bigger than you and me
It’s bigger
