You promised me you'd be there
Forever, no matter what you care
Wrap me in your loving arms
Hold me safe from this world's charms
But fleeting charms
I don't know what is wrong
With me, I just follow the throng
Fix my eyes on you
I wish I really loved you too
Draw me near, bring me close
I feel so weak and so cold
Renew the love, fan the flame
That burns only for you
I long for stillness in your presence
Sit in awe at your essence
I don't know how to stop
I keep running until I drop
Exhausted I drop
What strange sickness have I allowed
To take control of me
Like the path I keep going
And going and going and going
Give me rest, give me peace
Father, I long for you
Nothing else will do
I long for you
