He heard you,
when your eyes were closed and your head held low,
He kept the promise that he made,
For the times he had to lay down and die,
He held you,
and showed you how to keep hope alive, alive
keep hope alive

And when the caged bird sings,
and your eyes lay hold of your dreams,
and your heart burns with the kiss that he's given, you will see, you will see

That it's his love, that carried us,
It's his love, uh-oh, uh-oh
It's his love that carried us through

When the caged bird sings,
and your eyes lay hold of your dreams,
and your heart burns with the kiss that he's given, you will see, you will see

That it's his love, that carried us,
It's his love, uh-oh, oh
It's his love that carried us through
