Lyrics

I spent too much time today

I used too much time today

on things that don't mean much

On things that lack significance

The world around me groans under it's tyranny of touch

The world is burdened by its overwhelming emphasis on physical contact

Every wasted thought

Each pointless thought

and every battle left unfought

And every avoided conflict

All are testimony to my need of you

All serve as evidence of my dependence on you


I'm a stranger in this land

I feel like an outsider in this world

Won't you take me by the hand

Will you guide me through it?

I can hear that distant band

I can sense a distant musical group

But I'm still a stranger in this land

Yet, I remain a stranger in this environment


Some day's at the strangest times

At peculiar moments

I feel a sense of loss

I experience a feeling of emptiness

A bite or two of stolen fruit

A taste of forbidden pleasure

and we all suffer from the cost

Leads to consequences affecting us all

But every longing for my home

Yet, every yearning for my true home

Even when I'm not alone

Even in the company of others

Stands as testimony of the coming day

Serves as evidence of an impending day of fulfillment


All I've got to do

All I need to do

is to believe on You

Is to have faith in You

Then every struggle seems worthwhile

Then every hardship becomes meaningful

I can see the promise of Your smile

I can anticipate the fulfillment of Your promise in Your smile
