Lyrics[]
Hear these words that I sing to you
I will make it clear, it's me and you
We can have this love that we'll never lose
It's bigger than us
Take my hand and I'll lead you home
Can you understand? You will never be alone
It's bigger than us
It's bigger than you and me
It's bigger than us
It's bigger than everything we see
'Cause I can feel the universe
When I'm feeling you breathe
It's bigger than us
And it's bigger than you and me
It's bigger
I won't give up and I won't let go
'Cause this kind of love is gonna be our only hope
(It's bigger than us)
It's bigger than you and me
It's bigger than us
It's bigger than everything we see
'Cause I can feel the universe
When I'm feeling you breathe
It's bigger than us
And it's bigger than you and me
It's bigger
(Bigger), bigger, (bigger), bigger
(It's bigger than)
(Bigger), bigger, (bigger), bigger
(It's bigger than)
It's bigger than us
It's bigger than you and me
This kind of love
Is bigger than everything we see, yeah
Oh, oh oh
So much bigger, yeah
It's bigger than us
(It's bigger than you and me)
(It's bigger than us)
It's bigger than everything we see
'Cause I can feel the universe
When I'm feeling you breathe
It's bigger than us
And it's bigger than you and me
It's bigger
(Bigger), bigger, (bigger), bigger
It's bigger than
(Bigger), bigger, (bigger), bigger
(It's bigger than)
It's bigger
Trivia[]

- This makes Lundvik the first Eurovision performer to have written an entry for another country in the same year.
- Laurell Barker also co-wrote the 2019 German and Swiss entries.
- 2002 Estonian representative Sahlene was one of Rice's backing singers.
