Lyrics
Once
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Once embraced, can't ever be let go
Once revealed, can't ever be not shown
Once believed, can't ever lose faith
Once shared, can't ever be separate
Once sown, once can't ever be not reaped
Like the dawn of a brand new day
With the power of deity
Well, I can feel it inside of me
Feel it. Can you feel it?
Once born, can't ever be not conceived
Once present, can't ever be past
Once first, once can't ever be not everlast
Returning home of the prodigal
Holding the intangible
To believe in a miracle
Believe it. Can you believe it?
Have you ever been touched?
Once whoa, really touched?
Could it ever be too much?
Whoa-oh-oh, can you tell me?
Once seen, can't ever lose sight
Once dawn, can't ever be not light
Once, once felt, once felt
Can't ever be untouched
The assurance only hope can bring
With the conviction of the unseen
See it's greater than everything
See it, oh can you see it?
Have you ever been touched?
Once whoa-oh really, really touched?
Could it ever be too much?
Whoa-ooh-oh oh, can you tell me?
Have you ever really touched love once?
(Solo de Guitarra)
(Oh!)
Oh! Have you ever been touched?
Once whoa-oh-oh really touched?
Could it ever be too much?
I don't know. Did you tell me?
Have you ever really touched
Once. Whoa-oh really, really touched?
Could it ever be too much?
Oh-ooh somebody tell me
Have you ever really touched
Love once?
Ah, have you ever really touched
Love once?
Have you ever really touched love
Touched love?
Woooo-ooooo
Woooo-ooooo
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Wooo-oooo
Wooo-oooo
Wooo-oooo-oooo
Oh, love once. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
