Holy - Chris Pureka

40 years in the palm of the ocean

You didn’t win, you didn’t win, I’ve got anchors

Said the child in my heart, repeating

On the day that I died…

To the west, to the west, I need anchors

To the west, to the west, I need strong hands

To pull me up over the mountains, before I love you again…

'Cause the sound was the boat slowly breaking

And the weight was a mountain of old pain

Like I could have walked on the sea

If you’d just noticed me, hanging around…

But we danced, hey, hey, hey

Yeah we danced, hey, hey, hey

To be whole, to be whole, to be holy, holy, holy…

There were bright days, we were dreaming

There were black days in the red room of your anger

The roses retreating, and blooming again…

But the song was my heart slowly breaking

And the weight was a mountain of old pain

Like I could’ve walked on the sea

If you’d just noticed me, waiting in the rain…

But we danced, hey, hey, hey

Yeah we danced, hey, hey, hey

To be whole, to be whole, to be holy, holy, holy…

Well it’s you or it’s me so it’s over

Well it’s you or it’s me, I’ve got bills to pay

Said my heart to your memory in anger

When I boarded the plane…

To the west, to the west I need anchors

To the west, gonna find me a gold mine

So sing us a song of redemption

I’m doing alright, doing alright, doing alright

Yeah I’m doing alright, doing alright doing alright

Hey, hey, hey…
