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 paid for your life, I 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, 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 Oh, 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, no, 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 They told you that? That's what was the most shocking to me Was not that it happened in the first place But that there was no one looking after you
