Sanctify Yourself
From the album: Once Upon A Time
Lyrics
Is this the age of the thunder and rage?
Can you feel the ground move ’round your feet?
If you take one step closer, it’ll lead to another,
The crossroad above is where we meet.
I shout out for shelter,
I need you for something,
The whole world is out, they’re all on the street.
Control yourself – Love is all you need.
Control yourself – In your eyes.
Sanctify yourself, sanctify,
Be apart of me, sanctify, sanctify yourself.
Sanctify, sanctify yourself, set yourself free.
In pictures of living, in bloodshot a vision,
Sweet miracles and strange circumstances.
I see the sun up, the showdown,
The cool winds that blow down,
On the big beat that life long romance is.
You’ve got a gun in your hand,
You’re making self plans,
Stay with me all through the night.
Control yourself – Love is all you need.
Control yourself – Open up your heart.
Sanctify yourself.
So you can’t stop the world for a boy or a girl,
Sweet victims of poor circumstances.
But you can pour back the love,
Sweeping down from above,
Giving hope and making more chances.
Well I hope and I pray,
That maybe someday,
You’ll come back down here,
And show me the way.
Control yourself – Love is all you need.
Control yourself – Open up your heart.
Sanctify yourself.
