Lyrics

Here I am a gain,

ask ing ques tions,

wait ing to be (C6/9)moved.

I am so un (C6/9)sure

of my per cep tion.

What I thought I knew,

I don’t seem (Bm7)to.

Where is the (Cmaj13)turn

so I can get (Bm7)back

to what I be lieve in, (Bm7)back

to the old me?

And (Em9)God,

please hear my (F#m9)call.

I am a fraid

for me.

(Em9)Love

has burned me (F#m9)raw.

I need Your (Am7)heal ing,

please,

please, please.

I am such a fool.

How did I get here?

Played by all the (C6/9)rules,

then they changed.

I am but a (C6/9)child

to Your vi sion,

stand ing in the cold

and the rain.

Lost here in the (Cmaj13)dark

I can’t see

my foot to take a (Cmaj13)step.

What is hap pen (Bm7)ing?

Oh, this hurts so (Cmaj13)bad

I can hard ly (Bm7)breathe.

I just wan na (Cmaj13)leave.

So (Em9)God,

please hear my (F#m9)call.

I am a fraid

for me.

(Em9)Love

has burned me (F#m9)raw;

I need Your (Am7)heal ing,

please,

(Em9)God,

please hear my (F#m9)call.

I am a fraid

for me.

(Em9)Love

has turned me (F#m9)cold;

I need Your (Am7)heal ing,

please,

please.

please.

Please,

please,

please,

please,

please.
