Call My Name


I wait in the darkness of my own mind
Wishing to hear you call my name...

All my life I've pushed people away
Because of how they address me
To them, I am words of hatred
Sorrow, pain, anguish
But to you, I am words of love
Joy, light, salvation
So to my heart, I shall keep you near

I wait in the darkness of my own mind
Wishing to hear you call my name...

My heart can't take much more
Come, release me from this darkened hell
I need to hear your voice, call my name again
Say it with your sweet lips
Take my hand and lead me to the light
I am weakened by their spite
I am lost without you

I wait in the darkness of my own mind
Wishing to hear you call my name...
