Craig Abaya - Touch Me Lyrics

I'm bound again and I'm dying for release
I need to move with a violent cry for peace
Don't know where i am
Still need to lose part of myself
If I'm to find you and be graced by your help
I think I know it all until I find that I know nothing
I walk the lines that you've defined and know each step of the path
I soon forget

I'm tired again of the way things have been
I punish myself again and again and again
For not being you though I know that I could never be
The mind knows it's so but the heart just doesn't see
I'm tired of all the arrogance and righteous acts of men
We all achieve we all can fail
So I ask you once again if you will

Touch me, let my spirit run free
Touch me, let me know just how I ought to be, lord
Touch me, I'm blind please help me see
I am the river you are the sea

Flesh and blood and living in the world
We have to eat and sleep to love and to dream
Don't know if I'll survive
When have we all arrived?
They're living in the warmth
But I'm freezing here outside
A parade of clowns to march along and claim
Through them we'll know you
But I can see they're just like me
So I have to ask again if you will

I need to breathe
But there's just so little room
I need to rise
My life's a lonely tomb
I suffocate
Separated from the truth
I'd swim any length to drown myself in you
