So long, I’ve been waiting for you So long, everything is shiny and new How could someone bring so much light? And you and I can reach some dizzy heights
Yes my dear, I feel the same These ain’t fleeting moments And something tells me that you might actually be sane
I’m not here when you’re gone I’m not here but I’m waiting for my morning sun And if you’re leading me on Then I hope it’s to a better place Yeah, a mighty better place
It’s strong; I can tell when I lie next to you And if it’s wrong, I’d be a criminal And though it’s not what I planned I’m sure it’ll work out fine if we can only understand
I think we’ll get by if you just show me a little kindness I know we’ll get by if you’ll just show us a little kindness
I sit around with my head on the phone Thinking about you and that feeling I know Life isn't easy when they know you're a fake Gave away my number but I know it's too late Another you is so hard to find
Leaving my light on for you I disappear But you don't care I know you can't hear me call But I keep on calling As if I'm calling to you
I see you again at the corner store It's an imposter but you know I need more Empty afternoons as we become estranged And I begin to forget your face Another you is so hard to find
They all said “Boy, you should never lose sight of what’s right” Over time, I made a thousand plans Now I’m hopeful ‘bout where I stand
Once I knew where I was coming from But now it’s so hard to touch the ground
So don’t get me wrong I’m alright tonight I know I look a little down But soon, I’m gonna stand up And I’ll be ready to fight Oh soon I’m gonna stand up I won’t let you out of my sights
Face it now; it’s been a hard road It looks like there’s worse to come Nothing comes easy; you’ll just have to wait While you’re making plans Designing your own fate
Once I knew where I was coming from But now it’s so hard to touch the ground
So don’t get me wrong I’m alright tonight I know I look a little down But soon, I’m gonna stand up And I’ll be ready to fight Oh soon I’m gonna stand up I won’t let you out of my sights
I’ve been sitting ‘round the animal cage Forced to fraternize with vampires I tried to listen to what the preacher said But there’s a secret grin on his face
Nobody told me Or I wasn’t listening To the voices that echoed down the sidewalk Turned my back and you ran away
I don’t need an explanation Look my way now And if you think I don’t care lately Look a little closer Because I’ve been…
Drowning in your sea Heaven I know will set me free And all of these lonely nights will slowly drift away There has got to be Someone in this crazy world for me And all of these lonely nights would not have been in vain
I wake each morning To an empty room And I slowly start to realize your not here I have to carry myself every day
Well for reconciliation I’ll be waiting And if your train stops at my station I’ll be here for you
Looking at all we'll done How do you sleep at night? Peace at the end of a gun How do you sleep?
We're calling We're calling
It's not the end of the world You'll just have to wait and see Walk right through the dark See the world as it can be
A thousand fathers and their sons Another year of hate What do you think we've done? How much will it take? Even when hope has gone Somehow we move along Is a war ever won?
And now I know My feelings show In vain I try to hide them once again And every time you see me this way I feel my worn heart losing all its faith I do not see my destiny Someone knows that I've fallen on my face And the dirt runs down all over me Into my wounds And pushes me from grace
And I know the by tomorrow All my troubles and my sorrows Are locked away and hidden from this day But night time calls your spirit out to play Please believe me if I told you There is nothing that I would not do To save your body from the harms of life And save your mind from doubtful lonely eyes
And what is this that comes to me In the deepest darkest hours of the night? The truth reveals I'm not as strong As when you thought I'd bear my hands to fight I will not do it I cannot let you Come along and misinterpret me I'm far from perfect My soul is scarred But I pray that you are waiting home for me
Taking a moment Stare to the distance And bear yet another day Seconds seem like hours And all that you left behind Gradually works on your mind
It's hard to see hope When hope seems so far away And though you are close to me The sky turns grey
Like a bird in a cage you wait here for the day Fearing the day won't come Like a bird in a cage held back from the blue horizon I wish that you could stay
Do you think there's a place We can both reside? Where peace and love prevail Where all of your shattered hopes And my poisoned memory Can be healed in every way
Spinning ‘round like a circus But making less sense Gone beyond its own purpose Could we just put up a fence? Like a stalker I just can’t stop And if I got shot would you care? I’m on a roll and I can’t let go How to find a way out of here?
Facing the day You're carried away I think you’ll carry me too Like a satellite Bringing hope to the night I give my feelings to you
Watch that, hypnotised Have I been following you? Occupying myself in so many ways My face turning blue Like a hawker who won’t say no I’ll be blocking you from leaving If I don’t act now I’ll lose my chance In moment’s glace I’ll be grieving
Facing the day You're carried away I think you’ll carry me too Like a satellite Bringing hope to the night I give my feelings to you
And once my lies Have entered your mind Well I say welcome to me And if you’re here for a while I’ll take it on myself To see if you fit my style
I’ve been lost for a lifetime No one knows where I’ve been Swirling ‘round in a circle Trying to find my way in
And I’ve made up my mind this time And it’s going to be much better I’ve been waiting so long this time I’ve been dreaming, writing letters
How could I begin to sleep if you didn’t want me? ‘Cause I need you You’re my sanctuary How could I begin to breathe if you didn’t want me? Oh I need you You’re my sanctuary
Have you been lost in your lifetime? Have you been falling within? Once again I am drifting Once again it’s a sin
And I’ve made up my mind this time I’ve been looking out with new eyes I’ve been planning my time this time And I’m throwing off the fear and the lies
Look beyond this glassy haze Look out towards a brighter day
Floating down Here next to me I find the end I plant the seed I long to see you By the light of day
I wait for you You wait for me There’s nothing to do But wait and see I’ll long to love you By the light of day
And I do see light There before me Breaking out of the grey And I long to liberate you On a brighter day I do see light There before me Hear what I say And I long to implicate you In each and every way
You look at me I look at you You know there’s nothing we can do I long to see you By the light of day
So long, I’ve been waiting for you So long, everything is shiny and new How could someone bring so much light? And you and I can reach some dizzy heights
Yes my dear, I feel the same These ain’t fleeting moments And something tells me that you might actually be sane
I’m not here when you’re gone I’m not here but I’m waiting for my morning sun And if you’re leading me on Then I hope it’s to a better place Yeah, a mighty better place
It’s strong; I can tell when I lie next to you And if it’s wrong, I’d be a criminal And though it’s not what I planned I’m sure it’ll work out fine if we can only understand
I think we’ll get by if you just show me a little kindness I know we’ll get by if you’ll just show us a little kindness
