Where does a man go when his spirit is churned?

When feelings of light leave him broken and burned?

I now know what men need, but now must concede

I'm lost and I'm broken, don't know where to turn

I've walked in the darkness, seen darkness in whole

Felt warmth of the light, now it burns through my soul

A burden not shared, this weight that I bear

Who'll grant me some mercy, who'll answer my prayer?

Is there a grace or a mercy for me?

For this soul in the dark, for this dreamer of dreams?

Alone here I cry, I'll pray to on high

Please offer me grace, I promise I'll try

These gifts, they have burned me like fire in my core

Love, friendship and mercy, I've known them before

My compass is shattered, my heart is in tatters

Who'll understand me and the pain I endure?

I've drowned in my anger, sewn vengeance and might

Now in this abyss I will pray for some light

I need a lifeline, a whisper, a sign

I'm soaked in profane, but now need the divine

I'm distant from love and the source of this song

Perhaps in His presence I'll finally belong

A soul in dismay, on my knees I now pray

I hate you, I need you, please help me along

Is there a grace or a mercy for me?

For this soul in the dark, for this dreamer of dreams?

Alone here I cry

I'll pray to on high

Please offer me grace, I'm willing to try

My prayer has been offered, it floats in the dark

I'll wait for an answer, an insider's spark

As darkness draws near, faith, faith holds me here

Hopelessly changed by love's deep lasting mark

Is there a grace or a mercy for me?

For this soul in the dark, for this dreamer of dreams?

Alone here I cry, I'll pray to on high

Alone here I cry, I'll pray to on high

Please offer me grace, I'm willing to try

My prayer has been offered, it floats in the dark

I'll wait for an answer, an insider's spark

As darkness draws near, faith, faith holds me here

Hopelessly changed by love's deep lasting mark
