Hear Me

Heaven, why do you elude me?
Why do you forget me?
Where is my solace tonight?
I need the Master to calm me
I feel myself falling
I don't feel life's alright

There's too much talking
and too much deceit
and somebody's calling
for my defeat
but I am still standing
not on my knees
for the ground is cold
and you don't....hear me

Heaven, why won't you rescue me?
I am forgetful but I'm waiting
There's just so much sorrow here
Heaven, I feel like I'm fading
Why won't you save me
while I'm so full of fear?

There's too much talking
and too much deceit
and somebody's calling
for my defeat
but I am still standing
not on my knees
for the ground is cold
and you don't....hear me

I could try to shout to the sky
I could spend my tongue asking why
but way down here it's so cold
and the sorrow is mounting high
I could whisper and it sound so loud
I can cry and never be found
but all around me is terribly cold
and I still won't kneel on the ground

There's too much talking
and too much deceit
and somebody's calling
for my defeat
but I am still standing
not on my knees
for the ground is cold
and you don't....hear me
no, no, no...you don't hear me
oh, no
When everyone is talking
with tongues of deceit
and someone's still calling
for my defeat
I am still standing
and not on my knees
for the ground is cold
but I want to know.... you hear me
