like the world is in dismay
i miss you here tonight
each moment a silent fight
sunlight just begins to stream
in it my life seems to beam
i wait here with my arms wide
to end this time's divide.
in a distant land you stay
i search that forgone way
in the cuddled care of sleep
you there, in dreams i reap
i hear your breaths tonight
holding you upclose and tight
i wait here with my arms wide
to end this time's divide.
i know He sees me from there
glancing my destinies lying bare
I pray from Him to give me you
take my soul in its lieu
i wish you could love as I am
to see some good behind my sham
i, still, wait here with my arms wide
to end this time's divide.
