I Cannot Be

I cannot be
Because I cannot see
I cannot receive
Because I cannot believe
Without you here
I am swallowed by the fear
Without you here

This life is hard
When you are surrounded by confusion
This life is hard
In your mind everything is an illusion

What is real
What is it that I’m meant to feel
Without you my Lord
The days are cold and lonely
Without you my Lord
This life all seems so phony
I need you here
I need you near
I need you to be the one to guide me
I need your light so that I can see
So please listen to my soul
Please be the one to take control
For without you here with me
I simply 
Simply cannot be

The End
