Speechless Lyrics

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
