Closer to Believing |
| I am closer to believing |
| Than I ever was before |
| On the crest of this elation |
| Must I crash upon the shore |
| And with the driftwood of acquaintance |
| Light the fire to love once more |
| I am wind blown… I am times |
| To be closer to believing |
| To be just a breath away |
| On the death of inspiration |
| I would buy back yesterday |
| But there’s no crueller illusion |
| There’s no sharper coin to pay |
| As I reach out… It slips away |
| From the opium of custom |
| To the ledges of extremes |
| Don’t believe it till you’ve held it |
| Life is seldom what it seems |
| But lay your heart upon the table |
| And in the shuffling of dreams |
| Remember who on earth you are |
| I need me |
| You need you |
| We want us |
| But of course you know I love you |
| Or what else am I here for |
| Only you not face to face |
| But side by side for evermore |
| And I need to be here with you |
| For without you what am I |
| Just another fool out searching |
| For some heaven in the sky |
| Take me closer to believing |
| Take me forward lead me on |
| Through collision and confusion |
| While there’s life beneath the sun |
| You are the reason I continue |
| So near for so long |
| So close yet so far away |
| I need me |
| You need you |
| We want us to live forever |
| So don’t let the curtain fall |
| Measure after measure |
| Of writing on the wall |
| That burns so brightly |
| It blinds us all |
| I need me |
| You need you |
| We want us to be together |
| On Sundays in the rain |
| Closer than forever |
| Against or with the grain |
| To ride the storms of love again |
| So be closer to believing |
| Though your world is torn apart |
| For a moment changes all things |
| And to end is but to start |
| And if your journey’s unrewarded |
| May your God lift up your heart |
| You are windblown |
| But you are mine |
