is this the way it has to be?
is it always this continual drowning
will it always snow and rain and bleed?
will the weather not spare us one ray
will the waters not calm
will we always be warring
will emotions always be overwhelming?
should we be used to this sinking
should we learn not to even think?
always on knees praying, praying, praying
Father, Father
don't you see the multitude
like grains of sand uncountable
crying out for you
and they're saying
one touch from you and
i surrender, i surrender, i surrender
taste your presence once
and i will love you
forever
surely you will find us from the darkest corner
surely even from the deepest of depths
surely you will reach out
surely you hear those cries
those cries of hunger
surely you will never disappoint
