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?
