Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Why in the silence of the night

Do I hear a voice inside

That cries, that cries for more?

Since you rushed into my door

[Verse 2]

You gave to me your holy word

But you left me in this world

I tryin', I'm tryin pray

But your light just fades away

[Verse 3]

I'm walkin' through the night, searchin' for a light, oh, Lord

I'm wanderin' in the dark lookin' for a spot, oh, Lord

Longin' for the day, can't you show the way, oh, Lord?

[Verse 4]

Don't leave me on my own, it's hard to be alone

When nothin's goin' right, when livin' 'n believin' is a fight

Don't leave me here alone

[Verse 5]

Shine, you can take this heart of mine

Now, do you help me travel high?

I cry 'n, I cry 'n pray

I won't let you fade away

[Verse 6]

I'm walkin' through the night, searchin' for the light, oh, God

I'm wanderin' in the dark lookin' for a spot, oh, God

Longin' for the day, can't you show the way, oh, Lord?

[Verse 7]

Don't leave me on my own, hard to be alone

When nothin's goin' right, when livin' 'n believin' is a fight

Don't leave me all alone

[Verse 8]

Why can't I live without you, why?
