Lyrics

Presence
Never seeing, disbelieving, alone choking time
Severed memories turn to ashes coiled in my mind
Maybe I won’t feel tonight but someday it should show
To raise my hands and touch the sun
I know I will go

Your presence fades, your life contracts
And what’s a heaven for?
Disengage and seek the change
To feel something more

Only if for just one touch
A flame might calm my tears
To bleed it through and show to you
I was always here
The child may not live through this
But I will be the man
And in our mourning we will kneel
Though strong enough to stand

Your presence fades your life contracts
And what’s a heaven for?
Maybe if I take your place
You’ll feel something more

Such a fitting end to compensate my sins
The footprints of a man blown away by gentle wind
Underneath we know the truth, it’s easier to blame
But maybe someday I will stand and live up to your name

Your presence fades your life contracts
And what’s a heaven for?
I feel no shame, I take the name
To feel something more

And if you think I’ll wait
Through this night so long
Then father you were always right
And I was never wrong
