After the dream You awoke me
You gave me a song it told of Your love
It brought a light to my darkness
A love song of hope that made me cry
Now I cling onto the song
And try to express what I have in my heart
I want to say that I love You
But these words are all I can sing
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
This is a song of my madness
Trying to speak when there’s nothing to say
This is a song of my weakness
I cannot explain what I’m feeling inside
Jesus my Saviour and friend
Closer than brothers greater than kings
I want to say that I love You
But these words are all I can sing
