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
