You Are There - Ashley Cleveland
There are so many words
That I can't hear
In the poverty of my soul
Till the light pooled
In my true love's tears
And now I know
If I will crawl
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
