From the recording Wide Awake
Lyrics
I never asked you for forgiveness
I never asked you for redemption
But now I've lost myself in a world of sadness
Feels like my holiness is gone
Was I never good enough for you?
You think I've been playing you for a fool?
Give me one good reason why I should be down on my knees
Give me something to believe in
My life's an island and the tide is rising
If nobody finds me I'll be forced to try something crazy
Feels like there's too many hours in the day
Tell me how long, how long are you gonna make me wait
I've been singing my songs, and I'll keep singing them all night long
Until this loneliness is gone
Heaven ain't all it's cracked up to be
People just sit around up there and talk about how it feels to be free
But they can't even spare a dime or a little peace of mind
To a brother who's deaf dumb and blind
My life's an island and the tide is rising
If nobody finds me I'll be forced to try something crazy
I've tried everything else and nothing seems to work out right
My life's an island and the tide is rising
If nobody finds me I'll be forced to try something crazy
I've tried everything else and nothing seems to work out right
