Song Lyrics

I cannot focus here, I cannot find my way
My mind is blurred by all the things that people say
I dream of bliss, I dream of heaven here on earth
Won't you please set me free

Cause I need love and I need light, I need to keep my faith in sight
But what I need seems so far away
Cause I need you here, cause I need to breath your air
But what I need seems so far away

Another night another day a brand new way
Just open up my heart and give me words to say
I wasted so much time hiding from the truth
Won't you please set me free

Cause I need love and I need light, I need to keep my faith in sight
But what I need seems so far away
Cause I need you here, cause I need to breath your air
But what I need seems so far away

Well I'm on my knees again... in the middle of the road
I've waited for days and nights alone
I won't let you down again
No, time's not on my side
I'm trying my best just to stay alive

I need a year, a month, a minute of your time
I need to sink into your infinite sunrise
I need to know the universe was made for me
Won't you please set me free

Cause I need love and I need light, I need to keep my faith in sight
What I need seems so far away
Cause I need you here, cause I need to breathe your air
But what I need seems so far away
