His embrace a fortress Carries me, and places A skeleton of trust Right beneath us Bone by bone Rock by rock If you ask yourself patiently Who is it, who is it, who is it ? Who is it That never lets you down? Who is it That gave you back your crown? The ornaments are They're goin' around And they're handin' it over, handin' it over Who is it That never lets you down? Who is it That gave you back your crown? The ornaments are They're goin' around And they're handin' it over, handin' it over We all have been to the still place [???] We all have learned the lightness I carry my pain on my right But I carry my joy on my left If you ask yourself patiently Who is it , who is it , who is it ? Who is it That never lets you down? Who is it That gave you back your crown? The ornaments are They're goin around And they're handin' it over, handin' it over Who is it That never lets you down? Who is it That gave you back your crown? The ornaments are They're goin around And they're handin' it over, handin' it over, handin' it over
