    My heart is spilling over
    Crashing on the ground
    I can't see what's around me
    But soon I'll come around
    My faith is in the balance
    Of a million tiny words
    So I return to silence
    And if I see a sign in the sky tonight
    No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light
    May never come, but I'm willing to wait
    What can I say? I'm a man of the faith
    And there's an ocean in my body
    And there's a river in my soul
    And I'm crying
    It's time that I let go
    Of things I can't control
    This path that I've taken
    Is the only one I know
    Well I've come so far to get here
    And I've got so far to go
    So I'll take what I can get
    In matters of the soul
    And if I see a sign in the sky tonight
    No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light
    May never come, but I'm willing to wait
    What can I say? I'm a man of the faith
    And there's an ocean in my body
    And there's a river in my soul
    And I'm crying
    And we are the dawn
    And we carry the sun
    And we are the dawn
    And we carry the sun
    And if I see a sign in the sky tonight
    No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light
    May never come, but I'm willing to wait
    What can I say? I'm a man of the faith
    And there's an ocean in my body
    And there's a river in my soul
    And I'm crying
    And if I see a sign in the sky tonight (but I see it coming)
    No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light (I feel alone)
    May never come, but I'm willing to wait (but I see it coming)
    What can I say? I'm a man of the faith (I feel alone)
    And there's an ocean in my body (but I see it coming)
    And there's a river in my soul (I see it coming)
    And I'm crying

His voice is intense though(!) it's like he's naked right next to you, his voice is so vulnerable and intimate 😅 I don't know how else to describe the evocation 🙃 and here I am rewinding it again and again trying to listen to the piano lol 😅
