No one to hold, no place to lie

I know we're all alone and still

You come to brush this gray aside

I know, I know, it's fate I feel

You answer to our hungry eyes

I hope, I hope this must be real

We need you now, we need to heal

Oh no, oh no, oh God, where'd you go?



You give us love, we have to hide

I know, I know, it's shades of gray

You give us hope and give us strife

I know, I know, this price we pay

You tell me no, I ask you why

I know, I know, your patient ways

You wait until we see the light

Oh no, oh no, oh God, where'd you go?



Oh, God



And tell us how to feel inside

No lies, no lies, no lies

And let me look upon that sign

With eyes, with eyes, with eyes

And tell me how you wear that crown

Of right, of right, of right

You lift us up then let us down

We die, we die, we die



You answer to the wrong and wide

I know, I know, the faith we feel

You give us strength and make us fight

I know, I know, we're supposed to kill

You pit us up on different sides

I know, I know, that's just your will

I wonder if you'll wait until

Oh no, oh no, this place will explode



You live above this great big sky

I hear it's nice, it's always spring

I've come to ask you for advice

I know you're busy for a king

You tell me once, I ask you twice

How long, how long, before they sing?

We did the things you said, alright

Oh no, oh no, oh God, where'd you go?



Oh, God



And tell us how to feel inside

No lies, no lies, no lies

And let us look upon that sign

With eyes, with eyes, with eyes

And tell me how you wear that crown

Of right, of right, of right

You lift us up then let us down

We die, we die, we die

We die, we die, we die
