It's been so long, said it's been too long Can't remember when I've felt so known You're so warm; shelter me from the storm And the fears that are just so cold They're telling me things get messy when you care Things are messy everywhere And don't I know it, don't I show it Every time I look away 'cause what can I do what can I say To help myself Or to help anybody else? You meet me in my need You bring new life to me And you go beyond what I feel Your life brought more than freedom Your love brought time just what I needed To see I needed You One of these days it will be easier to mean what I say If I remember each and every day That this world is not my home and I never walk alone And before time began my days were known by You [instrumental] You meet me in my need You bring new life to me And you go beyond what I feel Your life brought more than freedom Your love brought time just what I needed To see I needed You One of these days it will be easier to mean what I say If I remember each and every day That this world is not my home and I never walk alone And before time began my days were known by You
