Speak to me

Here in the dark, the stars above
Here in the light, surrounded by love
Even if you ascend as a dove
Even when push comes to shove
Please hear me up above
Speak to me.

When all I hear are lies
When all I can do is look to the skies
From my lips come groans and sighs
When tears will not stop flowing from my eyes
Only you will hear my cries
Speak to me.

When I'm afraid, and no one is around
When I am with friends not listening for the sound
When I am lost, groping the ground
Even if I am nearly drowned
Speak to me.

If ever I lie, if ever I steal
If ever I refuse to believe what is real
Even if I never get to eat another meal
Do not from me your voice conceal
Speak to me.

Don't let me run away
Don't leave me for even a day
I don't want my own way
Be with me when the world is gray
Come what will, come what may
Speak to me.

When I make the worst mistake
And when all I am is a fake
When my heart will only ache
In the storm, in the quake
Grap my shoulders, give me a shake
Speak to me.

In the desert with no shade
In the water that I wade
By myself or in a crowd,
I am listening
Speak so loud!
Just speak to me.
