Tonight I cannot rest my mind;
My inner eye is searching
For something else that God can be;
A hope mankind will never see.

Beyond the wall my tears flow
As if they could wash away the sorrow,
Wipe away the anger and the fear -
My worries of tomorrow.

I wish that I could cry out loud,
Shout it to the long gone birds
Maybe they could carry it all
And throw it away,

Deep in the sea,
Far away from me,
Far away from this madding crowd;
The hurting, cutting, slicing loud.

Leave me now, I'd shout
To nothing.
For what is there more
But empty hope and cold, damp darkness?

God, save me - tell me that there's more to life,
Tell me that there's more than life,
Take me away from all this strife
And let me cry away tomorrow.
