Lyrics
Everything is fine, now,
Let sleeping dogs lay.
All our minds made up, now,
All our beds are made.
No one's out of time, no,
Chips fall where they may,
Leave it all behind,
Let the ocean wash away.
It never was about
The money or the drugs,
For you there's only love,
For you there's only love.
It never was about
The party or the clubs,
For you there's only love.
'Cause you're my religion,
You're how I'm living,
When all my friends say
I should take some space.
Well, I can't envision,
That for a minute.
When I'm down on my knees,
You're how I pray.
Hallelujah,
I need your love.
Hallelujah,
I need your love.
Everything is bright now,
No more cloudy days.
Even when the storms come,
In the eye, we'll stay.
No need to survive now,
All we do is play,
All I hear is music,
Like "Lay Lady Lay".
It never was about,
The money or the drugs,
With you there's only love,
With you there's only love.
It never was about
The party or the clubs,
For you there's only love.
'Cause you're my religion,
You're how I'm living,
When all my friends say
I should take some space.
Well, I can't envision,
That for a minute.
When I'm down on my knees,
You're how I pray.
Hallelujah,
I need your love.
Hallelujah,
I need your love.
You're my religion,
You're how I'm living,
When all my friends say
I should take some space.
Well, I can't envision,
That for a minute.
When I'm down on my knees,
You're how I pray.
Hallelujah,
I need your love.
Hallelujah,
I need your love.
