Alone
Darkness surrounds
Silence enfolds
Torrents of pain course through
Each breath weaker, weaker
Heart gripped in iron
Frozen solid
Alone

I want a fairytale love
A knight in shining armor
Riding a majestic white steed
Noble and handsome
Strong and true
One others look up to
And model themselves to
A man of courage
Willing to stand for what’s right
Who will fight for what he loves
And never give up
I want a fairytale love

I want a love worth dying for
Something so strong and so sure
That death would be preferred
To reaching its end
I want a love worth dying for

I want someone to love me
To love me for who I really am
To devote to me his life and his means
Every second of the day
Every thought in his head
I want to be the center of his universe
To bring light to his world
I want him to be willing
To lay down his life
Without question or doubt
Because, to him, I am worth it
I want someone to love me

I want so much more
Than a fairytale love
I want someone who’ll be there
Through the good and the bad
Who will kiss me fiercely when angry
Softly, when sad
Passionately, when in love
Who will hold me tightly
No matter what
Who will always follow me
When I run
Who will love me
Always
I want so much more
Than a fairytale love

I long for the warmth of your touch in the cool of the night,
The whisper of your voice in darkness so silent,
The sweetness of your kiss in a tasteless oblivion,
The rationality of your thoughts in a whirling insanity,
Your childlike play in a world of solemnity,
The safety of your arms in a wind tossed sea,
The purity of your faith in a lost humanity,
I long for nothing but you, my love.

I am inexplicably drawn to this man,
     who lays before me sleeping.
His every thought I long to know,
     his troubled face to caress.
Yet his heart is strangely closed to me,
     by friend or foe I know not.  
Why does this feeling remain
     after everything we’ve been through?
After all the hurt, the pain, the tears,
     I still love this one.
Is this God’s divine hand,
     revealing my destiny to me?
Or is it satan’s devilish scheme,
     to draw me from my Lord?
One thing I know, and one alone:
     for now my time I must bide.
For to reveal the truth within my heart
     would surely bring ruin down.

I wish you knew what you did to me every time we part.
I love when we’re together, just you and I as one;
When I’m the focus of your eyes, if not your heart.
But when others join us, invisible I become;
Nothing more than a member of your adoring audience.
Then, when you depart with hardly a word of farewell,
Desperation is all I am left with.

There is nothing left for me here but barren waste land.
What once was green and fruitful is now empty save for the wail of the winds
Howling their longing for the joys they shall know no more.
Gone are the days of bright rivers cascading along their way,
Of birds chirping merrily in the trees,
Of pure happiness bubbling like a fountain from within.
All that remains is the dust of my ashes, blowing in the wind.

Every earthy refuge is gone
All safe havens are lost
There is no comfort
There are no warm arms to hold you
There is no one to share your suffering
You are truly alone

Every dream you have had has failed
Every hope crashes to the ground
Even the things you thought were immobile
Have been swept away by a stream of sorrow
You cannot fall further
You cannot be more broken

God is here
Oh God is here
He loves you
Oh how he loves you
Give your heart to Him
He will save you when all is lost
He will gather your brokenness and make you new
But never forget, He is the only truth

Things will get better, they always do
But you must always remember
That the earth shall pass away
Even beneath our feet it crumbles
Leaving us in darkness once more
So trust none but the Lord with your heart

When the sun shines brightly
On your upturned face
Give glory to God
Serve Him faithfully
And never forget
That destitution is all the world offers

God is here
Oh God is here
He loves you
Oh how he loves you
Give your heart to Him
He will save you when all is lost
He will gather your brokenness and make you new
Never forget, He is the only truth
