Are You There?

How can I be this way No words left to say Standing here alone All my strength is gone Can you hear me when I pray No one knows this part of me I'm fighting to break free I'm drowning in a sea Of insecurity Can you help me find release Looking up, as I pray Crying out, losing faith In a name so great, but has no face Are you there Are you there, for me I don't know who I am Someone help me understand Why should I have to prove My worth to all of you I am only just a man Deep down I know the truth None of you approve What am I supposed to do Live my life for you What I want, it's all overdue Oh, seven years, I have cried I still wait, no reply Are you afraid Of what I hide inside Oh, are you there (Are you there) Oh, are you there Are you there, for me Oh, are you there (Are you there) Oh, are you there Are you there, for me
