Saved

(album: The Burning World - 1989)

Now I've got nothing to look at
And I've got no pain to deny
And I've got nobody to bleed for
And I've got no sun to pull down from the sky
But I'm saved, yeah, I'm saved
And I don't understand it, I'm saved

If mercy were to hold me closely
And hide me in her place of no pain
The angels would throw down the water
They cried from one hundred million eyes

And I have a feeling that's growing
Somewhere behind my sleeping mind
Yeah, I'm saved, I'm saved
Yeah, I don't know why, but I'm saved

When sunlight falls on your shoulder
You look like a creature from Heaven
You're holy when you open your eyes
And look up inside that sheltering sky

And you're an angel, I'll never betray you
But I'll always be a lonely child
Yeah, still I'm saved
I'm saved
Yeah, I don't deserve it
But I'm saved
