You Are There

There are so many words that I can't hear
In the poverty of my soul
'Til the light pooled in my true love's tears
And now I know
If I will crawl up out of this barren land
Then I will crawl up on my own
And I won't ride the shoulders of any man
But I am not alone

Where I cannot lift my eyes
You are there
Where I cannot find my way
You are there
Where I cannot hold my tongue
You are there
Where I have no prayer
You are there

It's a lot likе snakes and ladders
I am swallowed еvery time
Trying to reach for something better
And find a peace that's mine
But I can't give myself a good talking to
And I can't fool this bitter pain
I'd like to quit this cave I'm walking through
But the path remains

Where I cannot lift my eyes
You are there
Where I cannot find my way
You are there
Where I cannot hold my tongue
You are there
Where I have no prayer
You are there

I want to talk about resolution
I want to tie up every loose string
Tear down the institutions
And lay hold of greater things
Oh, where can I run from Your presence?
Oh, You know my path so well
If I should rise up into the heavens
Or make my bed in hell

Where I cannot lift my eyes
You are there
Where I cannot find my way
You are there
Where I cannot hold my tongue
You are there
Where I have no prayer
You are there
