Intro:     x2

                                 
You're all that I have and you're all that I need

Each and every day I pray to get to know you please
                                   
I want to be close to you, yes I'm so hungry
            
You're like water for my soul when it gets thirsty
                                      
Without you there's no me, you're the air that I breathe
    
Sometimes the world is dark and I just can't see
                                                       
With these, demons surround all around to bring me down to negativity
      
But I believe, yes I believe, I said I believe
                                               
I'll stand on my own two feet, won't be brought down on one knee
  
I fight with all of my might and get these demons to flee
                             
Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe
   
Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe
                               
Out of darkness comes light, twilight unto the heights
      
Crown Heights burnin' up all through till twilight
                               
Said thank you to my God, now I finally got it right
         
And I'll fight with all of my heart, and all a' my soul, and all a' my might

Chorus:
                                      
What's this feeling, my love will rip a hole in the ceiling
                             
I give myself to you from the essence of my being 
                     
And I sing to my god, songs of love and healing
                                
I want Moshiach now, time we start revealing
                                      
What's this feeling, my love will rip a hole in the ceiling
                             
I give myself to you from the essence of my being 
                     
And I sing to my god, songs of love and healing
                    
I want Moshiach now

                             
Strippin’ away the layers and reveal your soul
        
Got to give yourself up and then you become whole
                                  
You're a slave to yourself and you don't even know
            
You want to live the fast life but your brain moves slow
                              
If you're trying to stay high, bound to stay low
         
You want God but you can't deflate your ego
                                    
If you're already there then there's nowhere to go
          
If you're cup's already full then its bound to overflow
                                         
If you're drowning in the water's and you can't stay afloat
    
Ask Hashem for mercy, and he'll throw you a rope
                                           
You're looking for help from God you say he couldn't be found
          
Searching up to the sky and looking beneath the ground
                                  
Like a King without his Crown, you keep fallin' down
    
You really want to live but can't get rid of your frown
                                         
Tried to reach unto the heights and wound bound down on the ground
      
Given up your pride and the you heard a sound
                                 
Out of night comes day and out of day comes light
     
Nullified to the One like sunlight in a ray,
                              
Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze
       
Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze

Chorus

Solo

                             
See I lift up my eyes where my help come from
                             
And I seen it circling around from the mountain
                           
Thunder, you feel it in your chest
                                       
You keep my mind at ease and my soul at rest you're not vexed
                             
See I lift up my eyes where my help come from
                             
And I seen it circling around from the mountain
                           
Thunder, you feel it in your chest
                                       
You keep my mind at ease and my soul at rest you're not vexed
