[Verse]

Your light is in my hand

Your light is in my hand

Your light is in my hand

Your light is in my hand

Your mind is in my eye

Your mind is in my eye

Your mind is in my eye

Your eye is in my mind

Your mind is in my eye

Your eye is in my eye

Your eye is in my eye

Your eye is in my eye

Your eye is in my eye

Your eye is in my eye

Here, here
