phil stacey - hard to get[00:00:01]
you who live in heaven[00:00:19]
hear the prayers of those of us who live on earth[00:00:22]
who are afraid of being left by those we love[00:00:28]
and who get hardened by the hurt[00:00:34]
do you remember when you lived down here[00:00:39]
where we all scrape[00:00:43]
to find the faith to ask for daily bread[00:00:45]
did you forget about us after you had flown away[00:00:52]
well, i memorized every word you said[00:00:58]
still i'm so scared, i'm holding my breath[00:01:05]
while you're up there just playing hard to get[00:01:12]
do you who live in radiance[00:01:22]
hear the prayers of those of us who live in skin[00:01:25]
we have a love that's not as patient as yours was[00:01:31]
still we do love now and then[00:01:36]
did you ever know loneliness[00:01:41]
did you ever know need[00:01:45]
do you remember just how long a night can get[00:01:48]
when you are barely holding on[00:01:54]
and your friends fall asleep[00:01:58]
don't see the blood that's running in your sweat[00:02:01]
will those who mourn be left uncomforted[00:02:08]
while you're up there just playing hard to get[00:02:14]
and i know you bore our sorrows[00:02:22]
and i know you feel our pain[00:02:29]
and i know that it would not hurt any less[00:02:36]
even if it could be explained[00:02:41]
and i know that i am only lashing out[00:02:48]
at the one who loves me most[00:02:55]
and after i have figured this somehow[00:03:00]
all i really need to know[00:03:08]
is if you who live in eternity[00:03:14]
hear the prayers of those of us who live in time[00:03:16]
we cannot see what's ahead[00:03:23]
and we cannot get free from what we've left behind[00:03:25]
i'm reeling from these voices that keep screaming in my ear[00:03:33]
all these words of shame and doubt, blame and regret[00:03:40]
i can't see how you're leading me unless you've led me here[00:03:46]
to where i'm lost enough to let myself be led[00:03:53]
and so you've been here all along, i guess[00:04:03]
it's just your ways and you are just plain hard to get[00:04:09]
