[Verse 1]
Paul is making me nervous
Paul is making me scared
Walk into this room and swaggers
Like he's God's own messenger

But if he's all you say
Would he fly from heaven
To this world again

[Verse 2]
Take whatever you're needing

[Chorus 2]
Like water through my hands
Or is it just beginning
But if he's all you say
Would he fly from heaven
To this world again
To this world again
[Bridge]
They took my brother
The ripped him from me
To twist his words
As they did his body
Deny his family
Deny his beauty
To lay him down at the feet
Of those he couldn't save
Couldn't save
Couldn't save
[Chorus 3]
Will it be the end
Or is he still ascending
But if he's all you say
Would he fly from heaven
To this world again
To this world again
