what to say?

I know it’s been a long time I didn’t know what to say I felt like I couldn’t pray anymore I guess I’ve been angry It felt like you’d left me And I once thought I really knew you Lord I know it’s been a long time I’ve been trying to figure it all out What the pain is all about Lord

Where’s the child inside The one who almost died Did you hear my silent cry long ago I closed my heart I closed my mind To a world too unkind Now it’s me that I can’t find It’s me I need to know

I know it’s been a long time I thought of you day after day It feels good to pray to you I thought I was left behind Alone to calm my own mind Still we weren’t apart you were there in my heart I know it’s been a long time I could never let go of you After all that we’ve been through

Where’s the child inside The one who almost died Did you hear my silent cry Long, long ago I closed my heart I closed my mind To a world too unkind Now it’s You that I can’t find It’s You I need to know I want to come home I want to come home I want to come home to You I know it's been a long time
