The Missing One Lyrics

Ironically, this has to be

The worst part inside of me

Knowing you has to be

Possibly the most desperate plea

It takes honesty

Something more than me

But I'll probably be

Stuck in the mess of everything

And I think I've seen this all before

When I said, "Where were you in the hurricane?"

But I didn't think you'd ask me the same

Where were you when it all went wrong?

But I was the missing one all along

Here on earth, it's Church

And I search, I search, I search

For something that is worth

More than life, or death, or birth

For something that I've known

That's outgrown, I've overflowed

Into a boat you've built for me to drown in

And I think I've seen this all before

When I said, "Where were you in the hurricane?"

(You said, "Right here, I've been right here")

But I didn't think you'd ask me the same

(My dear, why did you disappear?)

Where were you when it all went wrong?

(Right here, I've been right here)

But I was the missing one all along

To be found, am I lost?

Am I afraid to now the cost?

My life, His strife

All laid upon a cross

Cut me down, turn me around

Tell me I don't know loss

And I know you've been with me before

When I said, "Where were you in the hurricane?"

But I didn't think you'd ask me the same

Where were you when it all went wrong?

(Right here, I've been right here)

But I was the missing one all along
