Lyrics

There?s a space here that used to be filled, thought this empty chair was taken,
There was passion someone meant to rebuild, but perhaps I am mistaken.
I felt the distance grow, but still I chose to go my own way.
Longing for days of long ago, missing the times I used to know
Nothing could harm when you were near. How can I ever know you are here?

I was playful in a world of my own, with a child?s preoccupation,
Then betrayal I should never have known, where were you my heart?s salvation?
I thought there?d be no pain, no tragedy with you in my life,
Maybe you died for all my sins, maybe this is where faith begins,
Counting each hair and saving each tear, but I would rather you had been here.

Then through the ages I hear, ?Why?ve you forsaken me??.
Somehow I know this is not how you meant it to be,
But I?m here alone and sometimes I look for your face,
Longing for some hope, longing for a safe embrace.

I?d leave this all behind to have the trust of childhood again.
But now I need a grown up faith, choosing forgiveness over hate,
Finding this love casts out every fear,
I sought with my whole heart and you?re here.
