[Verse 1]
I got nothing to hold me here
My old friends have all moved on and disappeared
It wonât be long now âtil I fly
But oh my dear ones how I hate to say goodbye
[Chorus]
So I sing holy holy from this prison where I lie
My arms reaching up to touch the sky
I sing holy holy, hallelujah I am free
Come on down and join the jubilee
[Verse 2]
I donât hunger and I donât thirst
There is nothing that I need upon this earth
My bodyâs broken but not my soul
You know itâs love and only love thatâs made me whole
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Iâm an orphan thirty years on
How I miss my fatherâs voice and my motherâs arms
I was you once, and now youâre me
Itâs in this circle that we make a family
[Chorus]
