Silence
I try for another way
I live to fight another day
But I just can't reach you
I stand here, my arms high
On my knees I cry
But I still can't reach you
How long must I endure
This unending war
But still I can't feel you
Where am I to go
What seed shall I sow
If I still can't hear you
What boundaries to break
When my heart breaks
Still nothing from you
While I go insane
Suffering from this pain
Only if I could reach you
Lord please speak to me.
