[Verse 1]
You're Gall that I have and you're Bmall that I need
AEach and every day I pray to get to know you please
I want to Gbe close to you, yes I'm Bmso hungry
You're like Emwater for my soul when it gets thirsty
Without Gyou there's no me, you're the Bmair that I breathe
SomeAtimes the world is dark and I just can't see
With these, Gdemons surround all around to bring me down Bmto negativity
But I Embelieve, yes I believe, I said I believe
I'll Gstand on my own two feet, won't be brought Bmdown on one knee
I Afight with all of my might and get these demons to flee
Hashem's Grays fire blaze burn bBmright and I believe
Hashem's Emrays fire blaze burn bright and I believe
Out of Gdarkness comes light, twiBmlight unto the heights
Crown AHeights burnin' up all through till twilight
Said Gthank you to my God, now I Bmfinally got it right
And I'll Emfight with all of my heart, and all o' my soul, and all o' my might
[Chorus]
What's thiEms feelin', my love will rip a Dhole in the ceilin'
I Agive myself to you from the Bmessence of my being
And I    Emsing to my god, Dsongs of love and healin'
I want   AMoshiach now, tiBmme we start revealing
What's thiEms feeling, my love will rip a Dhole in the ceilin'
I Agive myself to you from the Bmessence of my bein'

GStrippin' away the layers and Bmreveal your soul
Got to Agive yourself up and then you become whole
You're a Gslave to yourself and you Bmdon't even know
You want to Emlive the fast life but your brain moves slow
If you're Gtryin' to stay high, Bmbound to stay low
You want AGod but you can't deflate your ego
If you're aGlready there, then there's Bmnowhere to go
If your Emcup's already full then it's bound to overflow
If you're Gdrowning in the waters and you Bmcan't stay afloat
Ask HashAem for mercy, and he'll throw you a rope
You're Glooking for help from God, you say he Bmcouldn't be found
Searching Emup to the sky and looking beneath the ground
Like a GKing without his crown, you Bmkeep fallin' down
You Areally want to live but can't get rid of your frown
Tried to Greach unto the heights and wound Bmbound down on the ground
Given Emup your pride and the you heard a sound
Out of Gnight comes day and out of Bmday comes light
NulliAfied to the One like sunlight in a ray,
Makin' Groom for his love and a Bmfire gone blaze
Make Emroom for his love and a fire gone blaze
[Chorus]
What's thiEms feelin', my love will rip a Dhole in the ceiling
I Agive myself to you from the Bmessence of my being
And I    Emsing to my god, Dsongs of love and healin'
I want   AMoshiach now, tiBmme we start revealing
