Safe In The Cradle lyrics

how long will i go on
turning my back and closing my eyes
wishing you were here but pretening you`re dead
it`s not so bad here in mediocraty
no one expects much of me
but i think of you and your thoughts of me
i hurt so badly but i can`t leave

you kiss me when i`m sleeping
when i have no will to wake
it`s will that keeps me from you
it`s a change i`ll have to make

will i ever be able to do the things my heart feels for you?
am i able to stop the things i do not want to do?
i want to hold the hand that guides me and loves me
but this stubborn will has its hold on me
misery is my cradle, i`m dying in my needs
will providence shine his face on me?

pick me up off this floor out of this mess i`ve made for myself
my flesh is weak but my spirit is willing
river`s bridge of stones i`ll fall water deep
your whirlpool love will hold me still
i`m safe in the cradle when i`m in your light
spirit come and make everything alright
