I don't need a lot of things   I can get by with nothin'   With all the blessings life can bring   I've always needed something   But I've got all I want when it comes to lovin' you   You're my only reason, you're my only truth      [chorus]   I need you like water, like breath, like rain   I need you like mercy from Heaven's gate   There's a freedom in your arms, that carries me through   I need you      Oh   You're the hope that moves me   To courage again, oh yeah   You're the love that rescues me   When the cold winds rage   And it's so amazin' cause that's just how you are   And I can't turn back now   Cause you've brought me too far      [chorus]   I need you like water, like breath, like rain   I need you like mercy from Heaven's gate   There's a freedom in your arms, that carries me through   I need you   Oh, yes I do, oh      I need you like water, like breath, like rain   I need you like mercy from Heaven's gate   There's a freedom in your arms, yeah, that carries me through   I need you      Oh, yes I do   I need you   oh, oh, oh   I need you, oh-oh
