The Stage Is Bare
Echoes of Love: A Solitary Encore
Lyrics
The stage is bare
The performance stage is empty.
The crowds are gone
The audience has departed.
The love we shared still lingers on
The affection we once shared still lingers.
We sang and played and we laughed and cried
We sang, played, laughed, and cried together.
And in our tumbling way we tried
We attempted to express that only hearts can truly understand.
To say that only hearts can know
Highlighting the depth of emotions only hearts can comprehend.
And all too soon we had to go
We had to leave too soon.
But now here in this darkened room
In the current setting, a darkened room.
Just empty seats there's just me and you
Only empty seats remain, with just two people present.
It was so easy to call you Lord
It was effortless to acknowledge you as Lord when praised by many.
When a thousand voices sang your praise
When a multitude sang praises, it was easy to recognize the divine.
But there's no one to hear me now
With no audience, expressing a desire for God to hear.
So hear me now, be near me now
Pleading for divine presence and closeness in the absence of others.
The stage is bare
Reiterating the emptiness of the stage.
The crowds are gone
Reaffirming the absence of spectators.
Lord now the time I need your song
Now is the time when divine guidance is needed.
To give me joy and certainty
Seeking joy and certainty from the divine when alone.
When no one else is watching me
Desiring divine presence when unobserved by others.
I need you more than words can say
Expressing the need for the divine beyond words.
Tomorrow's such a daily day
Highlighting the mundane nature of the upcoming day.
And so I need to feel you then
Expressing the need for divine support in the future.
Holding my hand
Symbolic gesture of wanting divine guidance and support.
Please hold me then
Specifically asking for divine presence in challenging times.
I need you, Lord
Reiterating the need for the divine, addressing the Lord.
