Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Feels so holy, holy, holy, holy, holy
  • On God
  • Running to the altar like a track star
  • Can't wait another second

Echo the hook

  • They say we're too young and
  • The pimps and the players say, "Don't go crushing"
  • Wise men say fools rush in
  • But I don't know (ah-ah-ah-ah)
