When I was born you were my breath 
 You warmed my skin against your breast 
 You were my food you were my light 
 You were my morning and my night 
 It's always only ever been 
 It's always only ever been you 
    And then I met you on the wall 
 You were seventeen inches tall 
 A painted smile across your face 
 I prayed for heaven, prayed for grace 
 I gave my life when I was ten 
 I prayed in tongues was born again 
 It’s always only ever been you   
 You were there 
 As the world unfolded harsher fare 
 As the spiral pared the seams 
 And the brand new colors gleamed 
 I could only think of you   
 You were there 
 Every broken heart and tangled care 
 Jesus, savior, lord, and king 
 Oh my friend and everything 
 It was always only you   
 I saw the writing on the wall 
 You were a man and that was all 
 There was no God in heaven above 
 There was no perfect saving love 
 It was always only ever me 
 It was always only me   
 And then my world was torn apart 
 I felt a ground, I felt a heart 
 And all the universe was one 
 Just like a father, spirit, son 
 My heart is open once again 
 A distant love, a forlorn friend 
 Maybe it's always ever been you   
 If you are there 
 As the world unfolds its harsher fare 
 As the spiral pairs the seams 
 As the holy haunts my dreams 
 I will stay right here with you   
 You were there 
 Every broken heart and tangled care 
 Jesus, teacher, brahman light 
 Son of God and source of life 
 And it’s always only you
