LYRICS FOR "Sanctify Yourself"
Is this the age of the thunder and rage
Can you feel the ground move 'round your feet
If you take one step closer
The crossroad above is where we meet
I shout out for shelter
I need you for something
The whole world is out
They're all on the street
Control yourself
Love is all you need
Control yourself
In your eyes
Sanctify yourself
Be a part of me
Sanctify yourself
Sanctify yourself
In pictures of living
Sweet miracles and strange circumstances
I see the sun up
The cool winds that blow down
On the big beat that life long romance is
You've got a gun in your hand
You're making self plans
Stay with me
All through the night
Control yourself
Love is all you need
Control yourself
Open up your heart
Sanctify yourself
Be a part of me
Sanctify yourself
Sanctify yourself
You can't stop the world for a boy or a girl
Sweet victims of poor circumstances
But you can pour back the love
Sweeping down from above
Giving hope and making more chances
Well
That maybe someday
You'll come back down here
And show me the way
Control yourself
Love is all you need
Control yourself
Open up your heart
Sanctify yourself
Sanctify yourself
Sanctify yourself
Sanctify yourself
Sanctify yourself
Sanctify yourself
Sanctify yourself
Sanctify yourself
Sanctify
Sanctify
Sanctify
Sanctify
Sanctify
Sanctify yourself
Sanctify yourself
Sanctify yourself
