Coamhim - I Know Alone Lyrics

I'm looking for permission
To say the things I feel
I never ask out loud
I just bow my head and kneel
I have a special reason
To be such a passive man
And I'll tell you what that is
Just as soon as you can
I'm learning about life
One person at a time
Someday I'll be one too
'Cause that's a goal of mine
I keep it in my heart
Right next to my list of fears
I'll read them when I reach it
In later, braver years

Off in the distant light
(There is hope)
Shining and pure
(The truth is known)
Calling me through the night
(There is hope)
Steady and sure
(A way back home)
Off in the distant light
(There is hope)
Loving and kind
(The truth is known)
Calling me through the night
(There is hope)
Alone in my mind
(I know alone)

I'm so close to the day
When I can speak the truth
I just need to find my voice
And one more shred of proof
I know there will be redemption
For all my private thoughts
My conscience is mistaken
When it tells me that there's not
My deliverance is coming
My destiny is nigh
I can read it in the patterns
Made by lights up in the sky
It could be tomorrow
It could be today
A true believer always knows
The believed will never say

Off in the distant light
(There is hope)
Shining and pure
(The truth is known)
Calling me through the night
(There is hope)
Steady and sure
(A way back home)
Off in the distant light
(There is hope)
Loving and kind
(The truth is known)
Calling me through the night
(There is hope)
Alone in my mind
(I know alone)

And here I will be candid
And gentle with your ears
I only say these things
To validate my fears
Life is never easy
And living it is scary
I can testify to this
By the loved ones I have buried
If I knew a better way
To keep my senses sane
I wouldn't need a song
To exorcise my pain
As long as there are people
On this tiny ball in space
I'll be running the wrong way
In this confusing human race

(There is hope)
(The truth is known)
(There is hope)
(A way back home)
(There is hope)
(The truth is known)
(There is hope)
(I know alone)
