Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind

Sing it again — final chorus

And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust Him
For He's touched your perfect body with his mind
