You Are There

1, 2, 3. There are so many words that I can't hear in the poverty of my soul, 'Til the light pooled in my true love's eyes, and now I know, If I will crawl up out of this barren land, then I will crawl up on my own, And I won't ride the shoulders of any man, but I am not alone. Where I cannot lift my eyes, you are there, Where I cannot find my way, you are there, Where I cannot hold my tongue, you are there, Where I have no prayer, you are there. It's a lot like snakes and ladders; I am swallowed every time, Trying to reach for something better and find a peace that's mine, But I can't give myself a good talking to and I can't fool this bitter pain, I'd like to quit this cave I'm walking through, but the path remains. Where I cannot lift my eyes, you are there, Where I cannot find my way, you are there, Where I cannot hold my tongue, you are there, Where I have no prayer, you are there. I want to talk about resolution, I want to tie up every loose string, Tear down the institutions and lay hold of greater things, Oh, where can I run from your presence? Oh, you know my path so well, If I should rise up into the heavens or make my bed in hell. Where I cannot lift my eyes, you are there, Where I cannot find my way, you are there, Where I cannot hold my tongue, you are there, Where I have no prayer, you are there.
