• Come on now, don't you want to see
  This thing that's happening to me
  Like Moses had power over sea
  So you've got power over me
  
  come on now don't you want to know
  You're a refuge, somewhere I can go
  You're air that, air that I can breathe
  You're my golden opportunity
  
  And oh, oh yes I would
  If I only could
  And you know I would
  And baby I, oh baby I
  I wish
  
  Come on now, don't you want to see
  Just what a difference you've made in me
  I'll be waiting oh no matter what you say
  'Cause I've been waiting for days and days and days
  
  And oh, oh yes I would
  If I only could
  And you know I would
  And baby I, oh baby I
  I wish
  I wish
  Oh, oh, oh
  Oh, oh, oh
  
  If the sky's gonna fall down let it fall on me
  If you're gonna break down you can break on me
  If the sky's gonna fall down let it fall on me
  If it's gonna rain down it can rain on me
  It can rain on me Writer/s: CHRISTOPHER ANTHONY JOHN MARTIN, GUY RUPERT BERRYMAN, JONATHAN MARK BUCKLAND, WILLIAM CHAMPION

• Kaley from Calgary, Abthey named their son after this.
  i think that is pretty much the cutest thing EVER.
  their relationship is so amazing, just living like a normal couple would, even though chris is away a lot, and they definitely don't let their fame get to their heads. they don't even like to be photographed together! (understandably) they have the ideal relationship, even though both of them have admitted that they have problems, but they work them out like a real-life couple.
  also, their kids are ADORABLE :)
