Faithful.

There’s distance in the air and I cannot make it leave
I wave my arms’ round about me and blow with all my might
I cannot sense you close, though I
know you’re always here
But the comfort of you near is what I long for

When I can’t feel you, I have learned
to reach out just the same
When I can’t hear you, I know you
still hear every word I pray
And I want you more than I want to live another day
And as I wait for you maybe I’m made more faithful

All the folly of the past, though I know it is undone
I still feel the guilty one, still
trying to make it right
So I whisper soft your name, let
it roll around my tongue, 
knowing you’re the only one who knows me
You know me

Show me how I should live this
Show me where I should walk
I count this world as loss to me
You are all I want
You are all I want
