I woke up with a loved one’s eyes upon me Loved one’s arms around me
Oh, she’s my one and only And I grew up in the bosom of my family Eight strong arms around me
Oh, from the seed they’ve grown me And I thank those, those who kept me company They are a wall of arms around me Oh, it is they who are my army Oh, it is they who are my army
Through these eyes there’s no God above me No devil below me, no purgatory, no pearly gates The worms are what await me It’s only me that can forgive me
And I have faith, oh I have faith I have faith, oh I have faith in those who put up with me
She’s my one and only If I’m the seed they’ve grown me They who are my army The wall of arms around me
She’s my one and only If I’m the seed they’ve grown me They who are my army The wall of arms around me
