Malibu Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In all my doubt
In all my weakness
Can you lead?
I fall behind
But like you promise
You wait for me

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel a spirit move in me again
I know it’s the same spirit that still moves in you
I don’t know how it took so long to shed this skin
Live under the shadow of your wings

[Chorus]
You are all I want
You’re all I need
I’ll find peace beneath the shadow of your wings

[Verse 2]
I’m still afraid
I said too much
Or not enough
You’d only see
The ghost still rising
A broken touch

[Pre-Chorus]
But walking through the valley was what brought me here
I knew I would never make it on my own
And I don’t know how it took so long to shed this skin
Live under the shadow of your wings

[Chorus]
You are all I want
You’re all I need
And I’ll find peace beneath the shadow of your wings

[Bridge]
Walking through the valley was what brought me here

[Chorus]
You are all I want
You’re all I need
And I’ll find peace beneath the shadow of your wings

[Outro]
And I’ll find peace beneath the shadow of your wings
