I know that there's a reason why I need to be alone

I need to find a silent place that I can call my own

Is it mine, lord is it mine?

When everything's dark and nothing seems right,

There's nothing to win and there's no need to fight.

I never cease to wonder at the cruelty of this land

But it seems a time of sadness is a time to understand

Is it mine, lord is it mine?

When everything's dark and nothing seems right,

You don't have to win and there's no need to fight.

If only I could find a way

To feel your sweetness through the day

The love that shines around me could be mine.

So give us an answer, won't you,

We know what we have to do,

There must be a thousand voices trying to get through.
