I've dug up miles and miles of sand
Searching for something I can't see
And I've just got bruised and battered hands
And a brand new void inside of me
Complete with walls I did create
From all the earth that I've displaced
A mess that I have made from what
I've just let pile and pile up
I have not been abandoned, no I have not been
Deserted and I have not been forgotten

I need You
I need You here
I need You now
I need security somehow
I need You
Like You would not believe
You're the only thing I want
Cause You're everything I need

Explore the cave that is my chest
A torch reveals there's nothing left
Your whispers echo off the walls
And You can hear my distant calls
The voice of who I used to be
Screaming out "someone, someone please
Please shine a light into the black
Wade through the depths and bring me back

I have not been abandoned, no I have not been
Deserted and I have not been forgotten

I need You
I need You here
I need You now
I need security somehow
I need You
Like you would not believe
You're the only thing I want
Cause You're everything I need

When my hopes seem to dangle
Somewhere just beyond my reach
You say You've heard my prayers
And read my words there on the beach

I need You
I need You here
I need You now
I need security somehow
I need You
Like You would not believe
You're the only thing I want
Cause You're everything I need
