[Verse 1]
I was born in the dark
with dust on my tongue
Then I saw your blue flame
and my silence was sung
Planets turned like keys
in a lock made of night
And your name on my ribs
felt like heat in the cold
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the sky kept score
with a thousand scars
Every shattered thing
still remembers stars
[Chorus]
Universe, hold me close
(hold me close)
Universe, make me whole
(make me whole)
We are sparks in the black
(stars in the black)
But we burn, then we rise
(over and over)
[Verse 2]
I crossed the broken rings
of a silver dawn
Found a choir of moons
where the old winds roam
Every storm I knew
turned to ash and gold
When your hands met mine
in the edge of the cold
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the sky kept score
with a thousand scars
Every shattered thing
still remembers stars
[Chorus]
Universe, hold me close
(hold me close)
Universe, make me whole
(make me whole)
We are sparks in the black
(stars in the black)
But we burn, then we rise
(over and over)
[Bridge]
If the night falls down
I will stand my ground
Through the empty miles
hear that ancient sound
One deep voice in me
one deep voice in you
Calling out to the end
and beyond it too
[Final Chorus]
Universe, hold me close
(hold me close)
Universe, make me whole
(make me whole)
We are sparks in the black
(stars in the black)
But we burn, then we rise
(over and over)
Universe, hold me close
(hold me close)
Universe, make me whole
(make me whole)
