We watched them gather
On the other side
And we saw five hundred people
All kneel down and cry
Hallelujah
We watched you underwater
While everybody prayed
And we saw five hundred people
Lift their hands and sing
Hallelujah
And the spirit came
And the spirit touched you
And I know your name
But I won’t touch you
I wish you knew me when I saw good
I wish you knew me when I was better
I wish you knew me when I knew God
I wish you knew me when I was better
I saw you
Beautiful and radiant
I can’t trust
What I don’t see as brilliant
I saw you
Smiling, dripping, secret
I saw you
Nothing different, still important
And the spirit came
And the spirit touched you
And I am pretty I sure I know your name
But I won’t touch you
God came to my room
And we talked for a while, I guess
I told God what it was like to be alone
Do you know what it’s like to feel alone
Of course you do
Well
I don’t want to be alone
And the spirit came
And the spirit touched you
And I know your name
But there’s no way on this earth I’ll ever touch you
Can you heal me and make me good
Can you heal me and make better
Can you heal me and make me good
Can you heal me and make better
