For Awhile

I hear the wind cry silent screams
All alone to me
I feel its pain — its tears, my rain
My heart bleeds for thee
Help me grow stronger all the while
Give me your smile
Sing to me a bit longer, stay awhile
Give me your smile

I long to be a contented one
Traveling all the Earth
Finding my way through
All shades of gray
Through solemn nights
And lonely days
I hear the cries of
Empty hearts in misery
Calling to me

I see the rage of souls encaged
They call to me
I feel their pain — my tears, our rain
Our hearts bleed for all to see
Help us all grow stronger, so we can smile
Give us awhile
Sing to us a bit longer until we smile
Stay with us awhile…
