Who is it
His embrace a fortress
It fuels me and places
A skeleton of trust
Right beneath us
Bone by bone
stone by stone
If you ask yourself, now patiently, carefully
Who is it, who is it, who is it ?
Who is it
That never lets you down?
Who is it
That gave you back your crown?
The ornaments are
They're goin around
And they're handin' it over, handin' it over
Who is it
That never lets you down?
Who is it
That gave you back your crown?
The ornaments are
They're goin around
And they're handin' it over, handin' it over
He demands a closeness
We all have learned the lightness
But i carry my joy on my left
I carry my pain on my right
If you ask yourself, now patiently, carefully
Who is it, who is it, who is it ?
Who is it
That never lets you down?
Who is it
That gave you back your crown?
The ornaments are
They're goin around
And they're handin' it over, handin' it over
Who is it
That never lets you down?
Who is it
That gave you back your crown?
The ornaments are
They're goin around
And they're handin' it over, handin' it over, handin' it over
