I am closer to believing   Than I ever was before   On the crest of this elation   Must I crash upon the shore   And with the driftwood of acquaintance   Light the fire to love once more   I am wind blown... I am times.      To be closer to believing   To be just a breath away   On the death of inspiration   I would buy back yesterday   But there's no crueller illusion   There's no sharper coin to pay   As I reach out... it slips away.      From the opium of custom   To the ledges of extremes   Don't believe it till you've held it   Life is seldom what it seems   But lay your head upon the table   And in the shuffling of dreams   Remember who on earth you are.      I need me   You need you   We want us.      But of course you know I live you   Or what else I am here for   Only you not face to face   But side by side for evermore   And I need to be here with you   For without you what am I   Just another fool out searching   For some heaven in the sky   Take me closer to believing   Take me forward lead me on   Through collision and confusion   While there's life beneath the sun   You are the reason I continue   So near for so long   So close yet so far awy      I need me   You need you   We want us to live forever   Don't let the curtain fall   Measure after measure   Of writing on the wall   That burns so brightly   It blinds us all      I need me   You need you   We want us to be together   On Sundays in the rain   Closer than forever   Against or with the grain   To ride the storms of love again.      So be closer to believing   Though your world is torn apart   For a moment changes all things   And to end is but to start   And if your journey's unrewarded   May your God lift up your heart   You are wind blown   Bur you are mine.
