Mereba - Sanctuary Lyrics

Mereba Lyrics

"Sanctuary"

I've seen angels in east ATL, GA
I've seen demons hiding in downtown L.A.
Mother Mary
Need my sanctuary
When I left, my daddy said, "Lighten your load"
Only time I ever did what I was told
I don't carry
Much but my sactuary

I've done my deeds
Planted seeds I never watered
But I swear as I got older
I could see that all the gold was
There inside me
So I keep a lock and key
And a tight security
Over my sanctuary

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Over my sanctuary
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

My sanctuary, over my sanctuary (O-over my, over my, over my)
My sanctuary, over my sanctuary
Over my sanctuary
My sanctuary, over my sanctuary (O-over my, over my, over my)
My sanctuary, over my sanctuary (My sanctuary)

I've let thieves inside before disguised as friends
I've let love inside and let it out again
Secrets buried
Deep in my sanctuary
Seasons changing, through the window, I can see
People planning to pull pieces out of me
Please, won't you spare me?
Me and my sanctuary (Yeah)

I've done my deeds
Planted seeds I never watered
But I swear as I got older
I could see that all the gold was
There inside me
So I keep a lock and key
And a tight security
Over my sanctuary

My sanctuary, over my sanctuary (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
My sanctuary, over my sanctuary
Over my sanctuary
My sanctuary, over my sanctuary (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
My sanctuary, over my sanctuary

My sanctuary
Over my sanctuary
