Could I talk to You?   Are You listening?   Would You let me ask the questions   That burn inside of me?   I am reaching out   I am holding on   Feel like one of Your affections   But not quite like I belong   Like I belong      I am numb today   Everything's a blur   I've seen too much to deny   Too little to be sure   Like a prodigal   Like a distant son   I can see You from a distance   But I'm too ashamed to come      Will You see me through this valley?   Will You hold my outstretched hands?   As the world caves in around me   Will You help me understand?   Help me understand, help me understand      I am scared to fall   Scared to carry on    Am I losing to the cynic   After running for so long?   There's a child in me   Lost in mystery   But it's buried underneath the earth   Longing to be free
