lyrics

Can it be the same when we've grown older
Will you still know how to laugh if you’re at my shoulder
Will our fates move together through all the toils ahead
Will we pay the price for our hour of leisure
So pillaged and abused is the house of pleasure
And we're blind as we walk alone but we're holding hands

Now Jesus belongs to me

Who will lead the way as we turn the corner
We're entering the bay of uncharted water
And the girl at the shore says there will be no more
Let it now be known that the window’s closing
No one will be left there will be no chosen
To raise up the new the old must be destroyed

Now Jesus belongs to me

Can we weep for what we've lost when we see the final cost
As the earth melts in the sun all the joy has just begun
We were led into temptation and lord how we've had our fun

Now Jesus belongs to me
