Holy (Til You Let Me Go) Lyrics by Rina Sawayama

 

Heavenly, that was me
A vision, at seventeen
Loves to read, loves to dream
The college of Magdalene

You saw a light, starting to shine
Wanted it only for your eyes
Older and wise, God on your side

I was innocent when you said I was evil
I took your stones and I built a cathedral

Found my peace when I lost my religion
All these years I wished I was different
But oh, oh
Now I know
I’m holy til you let me go

Tried to pray the pain away
Just like you taught me
(But something had changed)
Came to shelter from the blame
But I left taking all the shame

You saw a light, starting to shine
Wanted it only for your eyes
Older and wise, God on your side
(I was the martyr who paid for your life)

I was innocent when you said I was evil
I took your stones and I built a cathedral

Found my peace when I lost my religion
All these years I wished I was different
But oh, oh
Now I know
I’m holy til you let me go

I’m holy til you let me go
I’m holy til you let me go
I’m holy til you let me go
I’m holy til you let me go
