[Verse 1]
Now it’s possible to dream
Of everything
Washed and cleaned
Being made well
The knife you drove in
Now only grazes my skin
Since I’ve already been
Through that hell
[Verse 2]
And your angry ghost
Sometimes rises and floats
Then comes here to gloat
And tap me on the shoulder
But I shrug it off, I say
“Why don’t you get lost?”
This I’ve learned at the cost
Of growing older
[Pre-Chorus]
When I’ve forgiven you
I’m forgiven too
And I’m loving you
When I see you through
[Chorus]
The holes in the hands
That lift me up
That lift me up
When I see you through
The holes in the hands
That lift me up
That lift me up
[Verse 3]
I finally got wise
Still, I wasn’t surprised
You’d worn a disguise
All along
Behind the mask were the flames
That left this raw terrain
Search among the remains
And you might find this song
[Pre-Chorus]
When I’ve forgiven you
I’m forgiven too
And I’m loving you
When I see you through
[Chorus]
The holes in the hands
That lift me up
That lift me up
When I see you through
[Chorus]
The holes in the hands
That lift me up
That lift me up
When I see you through
The holes in the hands
That lift me up
That lift me up
