lay your head upon my breast
hear the heart
i surrender to your open arms
i accept you as you are--
and what you will become
follow me
follow - your heart -----
follow me
follow your ---- dream
lay your head upon my breast
hear the heart
i surrender to your open arms
i accept you as you are.......
and what you will - be come
a kiss is a sacrament
my prayer is a partnership
a kiss is a sacrament...
lay your head upon my breast
hear the heart ---
i surrender to your open arms
i accept you as you are
and what you will become
and what you will become
follow me
follow your heart
follow me
follow your dream
