Same Face

She lives by a tear

A whisper, an embrace

And everywhere she looks

She sees the same face

She’s looking for someone

To guide her through that storm

But as far as she can see

There was no reason to be born

 

And she prays that she is someone

That her heart so full of tears

Would be a resting place for joy

And she thinks her thoughts are broken

Swallowed up by her despair

She cannot hear him

She doesn’t know

 

She lives by a sigh

By hunger, by desire

And everywhere she looks

She sees the fire

She’s always been someone

To see her reflection through their eyes

But all she’s ever seen

Is a world full of lies

 

Now she lives by a song

A whisper, an embrace,

And everywhere she looks

She sees the same face

It was just a promise

A word and no more

All that she can think is why

Did no one tell her before

 

And she knows that she is someone

That her heart so full of tears

Is now a resting place for joy

And she knows that someone listens

And she whispers to the sky

"I can hear You

I am Yours"
