Speechless

The wind and rain blow by my door
 But the sunshine isn't following it anymore
 Now the dark is all I see
 But I'm still stretching my hands up so optimistically
 In this room, I stand with faith alone
 Faith in one I have always known
 Turns me away
 Saving my darkness for another day
 I want to tell the world to stay
 But their ears are closing more and more each passing day
 We've said all the words we know
 To keep hope and feel the promise of tomorrow
 Across the sea, your beacon's drifted far
 It's so hard to see who we are
 Turning away, so many lose the will to pray
 So tell me, how long must I wait
 How long must I pray
 Until my words get to you
 How l long must I dream
 How long 'til I see that you won't answer me today
 I'm left speechless, with nothing to say
 This doubt occurs to more than me
 Though I know that there's a purpose in each thing I see
 So who am I to tell them that it's fine
 They don't agree between them, so this faith is all mine
 In this world, there's just too much to do
 How could we make demands of you
 Turn us away, but show us the words we need to say
 And tell me, how long must I wait
 How long must I pray
 Until my words get to you
 How l long must I dream
 How long 'til I see that you won't answer me today
 I'm left speechless, with nothing to say
 I've given you every tear
 I've given you every sigh
 I've given you all of my pain as I walk through the fire
 I've given you every prayer since I was an innocent child
 Oh, how will I know that I've done all I can all the while
 But my heart is strong and I still hold on
 So there must be a reason, too
 Why I'll never change how I believe in you
 Could it be that you are speechless, too
 That the world has changed so much that they're forgetting you
 In this room, I still remember you
 The room is small, but it needs you, too
 Don't turn us away, save us a place up high today
 And tell me, how long must I wait
 How long must I pray
 Until my words get to you
 How l long must I dream
 How long 'til I see that you won't answer me today
 I'm left speechless, with nothing to say
