You Have to Be There lyrics

What is it more that you want

That i am not seeing?

What in my ignorant prayers

Am i failing to say?

Never before have i questioned the truth of your being

Never once have i dared

Never until today

All of a tremble

I stand on the edge of confusion

Who is to save me

If into the darkness i fall?

Now that i need more than ever my god to be near me

Do you hear when i call?

Are you there after all?

You have to be there, you have to

My life i have placed in thy keep

And without you i am drifting on a dark and stormy sea

You have to be there, you have to

Without you i'd drown in the deep

Too far, too far from land

The waters drag me down

I reach for your hand

And when i die will throw open his arms to receive me?

Who will forgive me and take me and show me his face?

When i go to my rest, who will watch me and wake me?

When my time comes at last, will you grant me your grace?

I am so small of this earth, i am nothing without you

Daring to doubt you at all turns a knife in my heart

Little by little i'm losing my way in the shadows

I am losing my hope and the world falls apart

You do have to be there, you have to

My life i have placed in thy keep

And without you i am drifting on a dark and stormy sea

You have to be there, you have to

Without you i'd drown in the deep

Too far, too far from land

The waters drag me down

I reach for your hand

You have to be there, you have to

Too far, too far from land

The waters drag me down

I reach for your hand
