DESIRE

I woke this morning

To the Malabar’s call

Felt sorrow rising

Turned to face the wall

Tried to find the dream

That I was laughing in

When you were still mine

And not in love with him

~~~*Chorus*~~~

How do I come back

From this kind of pain

How do I fight it

Learn to live again

Tell me how to trust

I believed a lie

I can justify

The desire to die

~~*~~

A cool breeze touched me

On my way to work

I stumbled slightly

Shuddered from the hurt

Yes, I have lost her

My own damned tragedy

Bitter anguish, deeply

Has overtaken me

~~~~~~Musical Bridge~~~~~~

The sunset tonight

Could rival a Monet

Alone in my room

On my knees to pray

And I asked Him how

Did this all come to be

Why strive for a life

Of no value to me

And...

~~~*Chorus*~~~

How do I come back

From this kind of pain

How do I fight it

Learn to live again

Tell me how to trust

I believed a lie

I can justify

The desire to die

~~*~~

Once again remorse

Clearly not the same

Chastised for greed

Craving in His name

She was but a trinket

My true gift unwrapped

Waiting for this moment

Letting go the past

~~~*Final Chorus*~~~

With Faith I am back

From anguish and pain

With hope I overcame it

Alive once again

God has never lied to me

I can trust in Him

I am justified 

With desire to live

~~*~~
