This is the fourth song from Pedro The Lion’s first EP, Whole. The song is a veiled prayer to God, who’s called “Mr. Hole Fixin' Man,” asking to be made whole.

[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Mr. Hole Fixin' Man, he says you died on Calvary
Hey Mr. Hole Fixin' Man, if you've got proof I will believe
So how 'bout fixin' me
[Outro]
Won't you please
Won't you please
Start by fixin' me, start by fixin' me
