Close
Across the miles, it's funny to me
How far you are but how near you seem to be
I could talk all night just to hear you breathe
I could spend my life just living this dream
You're all I'll ever need
You give me strength, you give me hope
You give me someone to love someone to hold
When I'm in your arms, I need you to know
I've never been, I've never been this close
With all the loves I used to know
I kept my distance, I never let go
But in your arms I know I'm safe
'Cause I've never been held
And I've never been kissed in this way
Oh, you're all I'll ever need
You're all I'll ever need
You give me strength, you give me hope
You give me someone to love someone to hold
When I'm in your arms, I need you to know
I've never been, I've never been this close
Close enough to see it's true
Close enough to trust in you
Closer now than any words can say, yeah
And when, when I'm in your arms
I need you to know I've never been
I've never been this close
You give me strength, you give me hope
You give me someone to love someone to hold
When I'm in your arms, I need you to know
I've never been, I've never been
Oh, no, I swear, I've never been
Maybe I am not that one and only guy whose touch will thrill you to the sky
And bring the lovelight to your eyes
Until the day the love you dream of comes your way
Because I love you so oh let me stay close to you
If your dear is waiting for that song you hear so far away and yet so clear
You feel your lover must be near
But till the day he seems that song the angels play
Because I love you so oh let me stay close to you close to you close to you
For maybe I am just a sentimental guy whose heart believes as time goes by
You'll come to me with misty eyes
Filled with love for I'm the one you really love
It's just another simple
Voicemail message
I'll pick you up and we'll do
Dinner by the fire
And we'll just watch it snow
It's from a year ago
Baby, I love you
And I can't wait to see you tonight
I've been thinking about you
All day long
She pushes nine to save
But still can't erase 'cause --
[Chorus]
It makes her feel close
Makes her smile
It's like he's with her almost
Til the tears take over
She's still in hell
But she tells herself
She's ready to let him go
'Cause that makes her feel close
It's just a worn out
Notre Dame t-shirt
She's gotten mad
And tried to throw that thing away
At least a hundred times
But she's got it on tonight
He used to wear it on the weekend
Just runnin' around
Probably forgot he even left it
behind
She says it keeps her warm
Oh, but it's so much more
[Chorus]
It makes her feel close
Makes her smile
It's like he's with her almost
Til the tears take over
She's still in hell
But she tells herself
She's ready to let him go
'Cause that makes her feel close
To saying goodbye, getting
On with her life
Maybe give love another try
One more try
Oh, one more try
[Chorus]
It makes her feel close
Makes her smile
It's like he's with her almost
Til the tears take over
She's still in hell
But she tells herself
She's ready to let him go
'Cause that makes her feel close
It makes her feel close
Makes her feel close
It's just a worn out Notre
Dame t-shirt
She's gotten mad and tried
To throw that thing away
At least a hundred times
Almost gave up yesterday
Almost made it to the top
Short of dying just the other day
Fell short of picking up a mop
If it's the thought that counts you can always count on me
I think about it all the time
It's going to hit me like a bolt of white lightning
Here it comes, my peace of mind
'Cause I'm close, so close, so close
I'm close, so close, so close
Falling short of proving it
Just a hair from the truth
Little shy of improving it
Here I come, I'm coming through
Pretty soon I'm going to shed this skin I'm wearing
I've been keeping it inside
No one cares just how you got there
No one cares how hard you've tried
But you're close, so close, so close
You're close, so close, so close
Well, I've known you forever
We complete each other's thoughts
Ain't like we never got in trouble
It's just we've never gotten caught
And if you've got a secret
It's in me you can confide
And if we ever get split up
I'll always be on your side
'Cause we're close, so close, so close
We're close, so close, so close
Maybe I am not that one and only guy
Whose touch will thrill you to the sky
And bring the lovelight to your eyes
Until the day the love you dream of comes your way
Because I love you so
Oh, let me stay close to you
If your dear, is waiting for that song you hear
So far away and yet so clear
You feel your lover must be near
But till the day he seems that song the angels play
Because I love you so, oh. let me stay
Close to you, close to you, close to you
For maybe I am just a sentimental guy
Whose heart believes as time goes by
You'll come to me with misty eyes
Filled with life, for I'm the one you really love
And hold me just the way I dream you'd do
Her heart was beating harder for every second
The shell was holding up like never before
A refusal to where all this has it's foundation
The shell hold up, but big dents bulge
Not now, maybe later and never before
Like a flower that never blossomed
About a longing that never given birth to a decision
About a longing that never ended
With the feet so far below the ground surface
And yet carrier of a rootless heart
Too hard to get up and still knowing
That beauty comes out of pain
And I wish I could pull you up from there
But no one else than The Only One can
And I wish I could pull you up from there
My tongue can never dress in words that my flame is true
And I shall never again be afraid of showing my weak self
Never again with threat try to prove my love
So let yourself get hit in the heart, let it bleed
If I could I would take back the words that were dead
If you could be fed through His life
If your heart would bleed
Whatever choice you make
I remain
Meet me at the feet of the Prince of Peace
I have nothing except what are my roots
Baby, it's been a while 'cuz I don't sleep around
I'm choosy 'bout who I give my love to
Don't wanna disappoint ya
'Cause I been sayin' how much I want you
Feels first one like I'm real sure, oh, I
I'm so close
(I'm so close and I)
I can feel it
(Feel it, oh)
I'm so close
(I'm so close)
I can feel it
(I can feel it, um)
Started on the telephone, promisin' all night long
Didn't know what I was gettin' myself into
Up and down, back and forth
Slow down and give me more
Tryin' to fight it but I don't think it's right to
I'm so close
(Oh yeah)
I can feel it
(Said I can feel it, baby, oh)
I'm so close
(Oh, no)
I can feel it
(I can feel it, I can feel it, baby
Oh, let me hold you)
Body's touchin' then we kissin'
Holdin' tight, sweat dripping
I can feel you all over me
Heart racing, you're running
I'm coming, can't fight it
I'm so close, I can feel it
(I can fight it, no)
I'm so close, I can feel it
(I'm so close, baby, I don't want oh)
I'm close, I'm close, I'm close
I'm close, I'm close, I'm close
I'm close, I'm close, I'm close
(Verse)
What's the one thing I haven't told a soul ever
When's the last time I lost myself control, never
Sitting next to you in this almost empty room
With the end of the evening so near
Might just be the only time
I can look into your eyes
And whisper. whisper
Close.
Close enough to touch
So close,
Almost close enough
I hate to keep you waiting
But love has never been so close
(Verse)
When's the first time I ever truely fell, someday
What's the one wish, I've been wishing for us both, one day
One day I'll wake to find, my heart has done it's time
And everything I held inside is out
And like a long and answered prayer
I'm hoping you'll be there
Just be on the shadows and my dance
Close.
Close enough to touch
So close,
Almost close enough
I hate to keep you waiting
But love has never been so close to you
Close to me
A single road within our reach
Close.
Close enough to touch
So close,
Almost close enough
I hate to keep you waiting

Ici ou ailleurs, petite soeur, seul le coeur mene
Quand ton me saigne et que le mal regne
Le monde est plein d'fourbes, surdous, prets a te flouer
Cloue, la premiere innocente qui voudrait briller
Petite prend garde aux beaux parleurs, le vice c'est leur taffe
Leur schlasse, ces pourris n'ont pas de face
Ils abusent de l'innocence, sans honte et sans regrets
Pas chez eux, bien sur, mais dans d'autres pays en secret
C'est devenu une habitude donc c'est rest chez nous
Le but, fille, c'est d'ouvrir les yeux, ici y'a trop d'fous
Et c'est pas ailleurs qui s'forment, c'est fait a domicile
Avec la bonne norme, on revient a l'ge du fossile
Et toutes les grosses tetes de la politique le savent
Mais personne bouge, il est mort, le hros des braves
Comme ces stars qui bavent sur des femmes
Qui pourraient etre leur fille, a l'cran tout a un prix
Ici ou ailleurs, petite soeur, le mal est pos
Qui va oser ? S'opposer a ce putain d'bl
Qui dvie de la ralit, y'a pas d'moralit
Je trouve horrible de laisser des pdos en libert
[Refrain - Syleena Johnson]
[Shurik'n]
Ca fait 5 fois que tu vomis cette semaine
Et y'a maintenant 2 mois que tu tournes en rond chez toi
Comme le doute dans ta tete se promene
Ton regard s'arrete sur les fringues que t'avais ce jour-la
Elles sentent encore l'treinte de la coke et du whisky coca
Ce qui aurait du etre un printemps ne fut qu'un sale hiver
Sans prnom grav a 2 dans la pierre
Sincere petite soeur, t'en prends pas a ton rouge a levres
Il voulait te faire belle, que tu sois la reine du bal
Ignorant que trop de beaut ca rveille l'animal
Et le serpent se pointe vite avide
Sachant que vient d'clore une chrysalide
Seconde apres ils sont cent qui salivent, cent qui s'activent
Fuck les tabous, bois un coup, prends-en ou tu seras pas dans le dlire
Tu voulais grandir c'tait tout
Tournoyante sur la piste entoure de hros, t'as pas vu venir l'plus beau
Et Alice croise le rel au rveil a l'arriere d'une Volvo ivre jusqu'aux os
Avec pour seul souvenir et cadeau des traces de doigt sans visage dans le dos
Et l'innocence partie en lambeaux
J'entends d'ici c'connard clamer qu'il s'est marr
Avec une fille bourre, faut pas pleurer ces choses-la arrivent
Faut juste assumer un fragile coeur d'a-peine 18 ans dans un corps de 25
Et ce reflet dans l'miroir qui te dit froidement que t'es enceinte
[Refrain]
[Akhenaton]
Avant tout, je voulais te dire que des conneries on en fait tous
Et qu'a ton ge, la fleche de l'amour fait mouche, souvent
Les garcons partent comme le vent soufflant, ta plume souffrante
Caresse les pages du journal intime soulevant les larmes
Au soleil mourant, chute de courant
Pour ton p'tit coeur nu chaloupant, les sentiments qu'il te porte sont morts
En l'ouvrant, comme toi j'aurais pas aim qu'on se mele
Mais j'aurais vit des problemes, si on m'avait donn un conseil
C'est bete mais c'est important, cette libert qui te fut offerte
Ce jour-la c'est comme une porte de cage qui s'est ouverte
Premiere chose que t'as faite, t'as tourn la tete
Fui dormir chez tes copines en courrant
Ma petite souris, ca rigole plus, t'as mis le pied chez les grands
Et ca depuis la perte d'la premiere goutte de sang
Jusqu'a ta belle connerie du jour de l'an
Emchs, ils t'promettent la terre
Ce qu'ils veulent c'est 1 minute sur toi par terre, dgoutants
Et quand le meilleur pote dit faire la paire
Ils commencent a t'embrouiller avec un air droutant
Et par amour ton jean s'dboutonne, ils font l'affaire
Petits pds, ils mritent minimum une belle paire de claques pour la peine
Ils sont partis te laissant a tes craintes
Aller le crier sur les toits, soutirant des sourires de tes plaintes
Comme si c'est pas assez, laissent dans le futur une empreinte
They're creeping on,
through your mind,
won't you think it over.
We know the scenes,
they're marching on with torches,
peeping from inside,
with evil's eyes.
the ferris wheel is turning,
the tale is told again.
And if we don't care,
we end up all the same.
We stroke the flames,
we never quenched all those years,
we should have learned
from things which may come close.
We need to talk,
time has come,
don't play it down,
it's over.
We know their themes,
it's creeping on with caution,
peeping from inside,
with evil's eyes.
no matter where you are, you're with me
no matter how you feel, i'll feel the same
you can count on me, i'll care for you
i always be so ...
close to you and you're gonna be
so close to me no matter
how far you're away from me
you'll be right by my side
close to me,
so close to me, so close to me
so close to me, so close to me
i'll hold you in my arms
won't let you slip away
you'll just think of me and i will be
running to you no matter where you are
Hey what's going on?
I could still be strong
For us tonight
I know it will get hard
But I won't run away
I'll figure it out
Just stay close
Wait for the sun
Learn to live this life, learn to get along
All this innocence
That we've come to miss
Will make us stronger
I don't have the time to go back in time
I already lived it
Just stay close
Wait for the sun
Learn to live this life, learn to get along
Just stay close wait for the stars
Until they realign just like the first time
With all we've come to know we work so hard for what?
I don't wanna miss it
Just stay close
Wait for the sun
Learn to live this life
Learn to get along
Just stay close wait for the stars
Until they realign just like the first time
You're so close to me, you're so close
You're so close to me, you're so close
You're so close to me, you're so close
You're so close to me, you're so close
You're so close to me, you're so close
You're so close to me, you're so close
You're so close to me, you're so close
Josephine,
your eyes ring black,
But Josephine,
your thoughts are pure,
And Josephine drowns you.
And Josephine loves you.
You turn back blackened stone and cold,
Meet before the man you know,
Treasure in you,
There's treasure in you,
Heaven in you,
Lost surrounds.
And once before the black winds came,
Took your love on bended knee And close, close, close.
Took a hand out,
to a point,
Last is best of no returns.
No relief, no belief, No exchange delays or dispossession.
And once before the black winds came,
Took your love on bended knee And close, close, close.
And time again the black winds take you,
Shake your love and try to make you,
Close, close, close.
And time again the black winds shake you,
Break your love andf try to make you
La la la la la la [x2]
Hey...
Yeah yeah
Listen babe,
I know it's hard (I know it's hard)
To see me go (to see me go)
To see me standing (yeah)
So close to the door
I know it thought
When I'm far away
But I promise you
When I get back
I'll stay
[Chorus:]
Close to your hands
Close to your legs
Close to the way your body fits on the bed
Close to your hips
Close to your lips
Close to the only one that I could resist
Close to your laugh
Close to your word
Giving you everything
I know you deserve
Close to you baby
Close to your world
Close to your girl
La la la la la la [x2]
Yeah...
Baby turn off that frown
Wipe off your face (wipe off that face~)
You know I'm weak to weak
So weak
You know making me late
Turn off your frown
And come over here (what you come over)
I'm gonna say this
Like I did before
Couldn't make it crystal clear
When I
Ooh yeah..
Oh yeah..
Across the miles, it's funny to me
How far away you are, but how near you seem to be
I could talk all night just to hear you breathe
Spend my life just living this dream
You're all I'll ever need
You give me strength
You give me hope
You give me someone to love, someone to hold
When I'm in your arms
I need you to know
I've never been
I've never been this close
With all the loves I used to know
I kept my distance, yeah, I never let go
But in your arms, I know I'm safe
Cause I've never been held and I've never been kissed in this way
Yeah, you're all I'll ever need
You're all I'll ever need
You give me strength
You give me hope
You give me someone to love, someone to hold
When I'm in your arms
I need you to know
I've never been, I've never been this
Close enough to see it's true
Close enough to trust in you
Closer now than any words can say
And when I'm in your arms
Need you to know
I've never been
I've never been this close
You give me strength
You give me hope
You give me someone to love, someone to hold
When I'm in your arms
I need you to know
I've never been.. I've never been
Darling, I swear
Keep a secret
Every time I'm near to you
I blur the surface
In hope of getting close to you
Can you handle?
Let me handle this for you
You are unable
To put yourself through
Are you careful
Of the things I say or do
See them clearer
'Cause I'm getting close to you
I penetrate you
There is nothing you can do
Protect your secrets
In fact I'm getting close to you
Getting closer
Closer to your point of view
Never expected
Of what you've been through
Can I handle?
Can I handle this for you?
I am unable
Ooh yeah..
Oh yeah..
Across the miles, it's funny to me
How far away you are, but how near you seem to be
I could talk all night just to hear you breathe
Spend my life just living this dream
You're all I'll ever need
You give me strength
You give me hope
You give me someone to love, someone to hold
When I'm in your arms
I need you to know
I've never been
I've never been this close
With all the loves I used to know
I kept my distance, yeah, I never let go
But in your arms, I know I'm safe
Cause I've never been held and I've never been kissed in this way
Yeah, you're all I'll ever need
You're all I'll ever need
You give me strength
You give me hope
You give me someone to love, someone to hold
When I'm in your arms
I need you to know
I've never been, I've never been this
Close enough to see it's true
Close enough to trust in you
Closer now than any words can say
And when I'm in your arms
Need you to know
I've never been
I've never been this close
You give me strength
You give me hope
You give me someone to love, someone to hold
When I'm in your arms
I need you to know
I've never been.. I've never been
Darling, I swear
I've never been.. I've never been this close
Nothing in life
Holds more power than your smile
I can't describe it,
Even harder to define
Your breath, it soothes me
Your smile, it moves me
Gotta move in, closer to you now.
Nothing can come between us
Nothing can separate us
Nothing can ever break us apart
Well, it only shows
That nothing can keep us from getting close.
In a crowded room
Feels like being miles apart
My eyes on you
Reflects what's deep inside my heart
Your breath, it soothes me
Your smile, it moves me
Gotta move in, closer to you now.
Nothing can come between us
Nothing can separate us
Nothing can ever break us apart
Well, it only shows
That nothing can keep us from getting close.
Your breath, it soothes me
Your smile, it moves me
Gotta move in, closer to you now...!
Nothing can come between us
Nothing can separate us
Nothing can ever break us apart
Nothing can come between us!
Nothing can separate us!
Nothing can ever break us apart!
Well, it goes to show
That nothing can keep us
From getting close
Who was I to think that I would ever be ok
When the one that I need
Is like a hundred thousand miles away
I was tripping to think that I could make
It one day without you
My world's built around you
(Girl)
You're the air that I breathe
(And baby you're the)
You're the one thing I see
(You ought to know that)
I need you with me (no)
Can't take this no more, no, so I got to go
I'd do anything to have you close
Even if I got to swim the ocean alone
It just ain't enough when you're on the phone
I'm coming to get you I got to have you close
Close, I got to have you
Close, I really need you
Close, baby I want you
Just got to have you close
Close, I got to have you
Close, I really need you
Close, baby I want you
Just got to have you close
When I'm with my friends only you stay on my mind
Girl since you been gone
My heart's been beating out of time
I knew the moment that I looked in your eyes
That you're something special
Took it to another level
So I don't need it if ain't you
And I don't want it if I can't have you
Every minute you're away all thru the night and the day
I'm think of you cause
You're the air that I breathe
(And baby you're the)
You're the one thing I see
(You ought to know that)
I need you with me
Can't take this no more, no, so I got to go
I'd do anything to have you close
Even if I got to swim the ocean alone
It just ain't enough when you're on the phone
I'm coming to get you I got to have you close
Close, I got to have you
Close, I really need you
Close, baby I want you
Just got to have you close
Close, I got to have you
Close, I really need you
Close, baby I want you
Just got to have you close
I can't stand another second here without you
There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do
To get close to you
Girl I need you close
I'd do anything to have you close
Even if I got to swim the ocean alone
It just ain't enough when you're on the phone
I'm coming to get you I got to have you close
Close, I got to have you
Close, I really need you
Close, baby I want you
Just got to have you close
Close, I got to have you
Close, I really need you
Close, baby I want you
You lazy slob
You stinking slime
You blinded bastard
You lovesick pimp
You so called hero
You demanding pervert
You cyber Casanova
You dead end brain
You walking creep
You painted clown
You shameless rip-off
You shining buckle
You twisted maniac
You dead town marshal
You slobby, grinning worm
You fucking crow
Remember to remind me
Shadow dance lazily, across this dim lit room
Are you my ememy, my lover, my ruin?
Warm and shallow are, the waters of your soul
It's my difference, my hurt that makes you whole
Chorus:
You lift me up drag me down
And here I am
Alone
Searchin for serenity in the halls of discontent
Pieces of my sanity, my will, my hope have left
I don't understand, where this all began
Are you my enemy, my lover, my ruin?
(Chorus)
You are so far away
You are so far away
You lift me up, you drag me down
You leave me so alone
(Chorus)
I watch you turn away... I watch you
You're afraid to let me in
That twisted mind of yours
You're afraid you'll be the one
To end up on all fours
Don't be afraid, I promise
This won't hurt at all
And all the thoughts you're hiding from me
And all the things you won't talk about
And all your lies are wasted on me
You shut your mouth and close me out
Open up, it's the only way
To chase away your ghosts
Hide your shame, I see it anyway
But thats just how it goes
Don't be afraid to be yourself
This won't hurt at all
And all the thoughts you're hiding from me
And all the things you won't talk about
And all your lies are wasted on me
You shut your mouth and close me out
And all my time you've taken from me
And all the things we can't talk about
And all your lies you gave them to me
Too much life
Spent leaving you
And I don't understand the attraction
Even if I hold you close
Even if I hold you closer
My blood
Red and diluted
With thoughts of you
I find in a glass
It doesn't bring me closer
It doesn't bring me close
I am finally near you
We make promises
We talk of today, and the next day
And even though we're close
It still means nothing at all
Even if I hold you closer
I still have nothing at all
Even when I hold you closer
Nothing at all
Even when I hold you closer
It still means nothing at all
[Chorus:]
Time and time again, you protect me,
Over and over again, you get me,
You've been a friend, so I'm gone,
Let's stay close, to you go.
Time and time again, you protect me,
Over and over again, you get me,
You've been a friend, so I'm gone,
Let's stay close, to you go.
[Verse 1:]
I can only imagine, where I would be,
When I think about all of those things,
That could have checked me out,
Danger from danger, situation after another,
In the wrong place, at the wrong time,
But whatever the case, you get me say.
[Chorus:]
Time and time again, you protect me,
Over and over again, you get me, (you get me)
You've been a friend, so I'm gone,
Let's stay close, to you go, (close to you)
Time and time again, you protect me,
Over and over again, you get me, (uhh yeah)
You've been a friend, so I'm gone,
Let's stay close, to you go.
[Pre-Chorus:]
We all got a story, you can tell,
How we were in danger, when you was there,
Man I don't even know it, could not see,
Angels is what you need, ah
We all got a story, you can tell,
How we were in trouble, when you was there,
Man I don't even know it, and I will see,
God is what you need, (what you need)
[Chorus:]
Time and time again, you protect me,
Over and over again, you get me,
You've been a friend, so I'm gone, (so I'm gone)
Let's stay close (let's stay close), to you go(to you uhh)
Time and time again, you protect me,
Over and over again, you get me, (you get me yeeeah)
You've been a friend, so I'm gone, (I'm gonna stay close to you)
Let's stay close, to you go.
[Pre-Chorus:]
We all got a story, you can tell,
How we were in danger, when you was there,
Man I don't even know it, could not see,
Angels is what you need, ah
We all got a story, you can tell,
How we were in trouble, when you was there,
Man I don't even know it, and I will see,
God is what you need.
So I'm gone
Let's stay close, to you go.
Uhh, you protect me,
You get me, yeah,
I long to know You more rightly
I long to see You more clearly
Won't You show me more and more of You
No longer to simply see in part
The fullness of Your grace
The wonders of Your heart
May I be so bold and ask of You
May I ask
Here I am crying
Before You I am kneeling
I am filled with desperation
To be close to You
Rend the veil of my confusion
All my doubts and disillusions
Draw me close and keep me still there
In awe of You, in awe of You
In awe of You, to see more of You
So much more of You, God
I must see more
Five O’clock I cant sleep, thought of you, running through my veins
Where do we go from here, my love, I don’t know
If you are gonna stay
But I know, my heart’s gonna be(2x)
Right here
My heart is waiting for you, right here
What’s left of me is right here, ooooh
U can see me(2x)
Distance has taken, the best part of me, tears wont dry
All I’ve ever wanted, all I’ve ever wanted has taken, what I need
I’m not putting you on a pedestal(2x)
You’re just what you are
My heart is waiting for you, right here
What’s left of me is right here, ooooh
U can see me(2x)
Bridge:
The next time, I’ll make sure
Why me
just when I believed I had control
something
tugging on my heart
not letting go
But I
I just can't lie
about it
my feelings for you
there's nothing I can do
Close
oh I want to be
close
you by my side
close
I'm dreaming of you right now
I want you close
I want you close
Why you
this is something I'll never understand
it's so cruel
to love someone that you can never have
But I
I just can't lie
about it
my feelings for you
there's nothing I can do
Close
oh I want to be
close
you by my side
close
I'm dreaming of you right now
I want you close
I know I got to be strong
guess I should be moving on
but if you ever find yourself thinking of me
and you're free
than I'll want you to be
Close
oh I want to be
close
still by my side
close
I'm dreaming of you right now
right now
Close
close
you by my side
close
I'm dreaming of you right now
I want you close
I want you close
I was pressed against Him in that sweaty seething crowd
Fighting every step to keep my place
I had only hoped to hear Him speak yet now thanks to
the crowd
this Jesus and myself were face to face
My head was aching from the noise, my skin burned in
the sun
Fatigue was setting in from the long walk
Then suddenly the crowd lurched as the Master turned
and stopped
His eyes quickly scanned all of ours as He began to
talk
"Who touched Me?" he demanded but I could not
ubnderstand
More than six of us against Him on all sides
Then a woman pushed us all aside and claimed that she'd
been healed
She admitted she had touched Him, knelt down at his
feet and cried
But I was close, and I was still the same
I was close, yet I felt nothing strange
With a simple touch, before my eyes, a life was
rearranged
But pressed up against Jesus I was close ...
... but nothing changed
She began to tell her story, the crowd hushed so all
could hear
Jesus smile looked as though He already knew
Slowly dying from a sickness, wracked with shame and
all alone
But the crowd around her last Hope, so thick she could
not get through
She'd heard story after story of this gentle Nazarene
The healing power of God, His to command
More than just a Prophet she believed that he was God
Himself
She waded through the crowd, praying for one touch of
His hand
The largeness of the crowd prevented her from getting
close
but she kept on where most of us would not
Convicted so completely that this Jesus was the key
Stretched through the masses, to touch His cloak, one
hand found what she sought
But I was close, and I was still the same
I was close, yet I felt nothing strange
With a simple touch, before my eyes, a life was
rearranged
But pressed up against Jesus I was close ...
... but nothing changed
Then Jesus turned His towards me as though I'd asked
out loud
the questions in my mind no one else knew
He quickly smiled, turned back to the woman and the
crowd
"Daughter go in peace" He said "Your faith has healed
you"
Then all at once His words rushed through my head and
clicked into place
the difference in touch simply that her's had been made
in faith
Clearly the Healer has the right to choose who will be
healed
but faithless contact I recalled, now in my heart
revealed why ...
I was close, and I was still the same
I was close, yet I felt nothing strange
With a simple touch, before my eyes, a life was
rearranged
But pressed up against Jesus I was close ...
I had you so close
And you didn't even know
I cherished every turn
Of your voice
And thrilled when you laughed
And died at each offered word
Which meant you didn't long to leave
And I tried not to seem
Too happy
You seem at home
In my darkness
And I love you
Because I know it isn't easy
And you are so kind
Because you make me feel
