[Verse 1]
His embrace, a fortress
It fuels me and places
A skeleton of trust

They're handing it over, handing it over

And the ornaments are, they're going around
Now they're handing it over
Handing it over
[Post-Chorus]
Handing it over...

Handing it over, handing
Who is it that never lets you down?
Who is it that gave you back your crown?
And the ornaments are, they're going around
Now I'm handing it over
Handing it over
[Post-Chorus]
Handing it over...
