lyrics

I once wanted a man or so I thought
What I really wanted was a god
Someone to save me, someone to claim me
 Whenever I got lost

And I thought it could be you
I wanted the myth to be true
Oh but I needed proof
In order to believe

I once wanted a man or so I thought
What I really wanted was a god
You seemed above me, you seemed to love me 
No matter what my flaws

So I thought it could be you
My one shot at the absolute
But what I sought, you refused
And I could not believe

It’s gonna take more than a man
It’s gonna take more than a god
It’s gonna take more than all of them
If I’m ever gonna get what I want

It’s gonna take more than a prayer
It’s gonna take more than a wish
It’s gonna take more than a saint
It’s gonna take more than a kiss

It’s gonna take more than you
It’s gonna take more than me
If I’m ever gonna breakthrough
 And have something to believe

It’s gonna take more than a man
It’s gonna take more than a god
It’s gonna take more than an angel
And I don’t think you’re up for the job

It’s gonna take a miracle
It’s gonna take more than one
It’s gonna take all of creation
And still it might not be enough
