Hanging On...
Silently...
Patiently...
I wait for my time
day after day
always the same
knowing somehow
progress is being made
if even only
(watching from the distance)
hanging on
to every word
everything You've ever said
You're hanging on
and won't let go
You have my soul, You're in control
dangling here
over the depths of hell
with eyes fixed
on the gates of Heaven
will I ever pull myself up
or am I too weak
in time letting go
only to drop
somehow knowing
(You'll be there to catch me)
hanging on
to every word
everything You've ever said
You're hanging on
and won't let go
You have my soul, You're in control
no one around
yet not on my own
trying to find
the courage within
looking back at where I began
(I can't turn away now)
hanging on
to every word
everything You've ever said
You're hanging on
and won't let go
You have my soul, You're in control
Too far
Too far have I come
Too far to let go
So close
So close am I now
So close to my home
My God
