Absence

[00:41.24] God
[00:43.02] Can You hear me?
[00:44.72] I've prayed to You
[00:46.79] But You're not there
[00:49.32] Said You'd never leave me
[00:51.64] So I guess that means
[00:53.68] You were never here
[00:56.56] From the beginning
[00:58.42] My faith has all but disappeared
[01:03.83] And You don't care
[01:07.39] Where are You
[01:09.19] This is not how
[01:10.11] I'm supposed to be
[01:13.43] Thought that I knew You
[01:15.67] Or at least I thought
[01:17.56] That You knew me
[01:20.89] I'm alone now
[01:23.22] You've taken everyone that I need
[01:26.89] So my faith is turned bitter
[01:29.79] And that's all I'll ever be
[01:37.67] Can You hear me?
[01:51.04] Can You hear me?
[02:00.64] You took everyone
[02:01.94] And You took everything
[02:04.88] Hear me!
[02:07.35] I did what You said
[02:08.49] And all I've done is bleed
[02:11.89] Hear me!
[02:13.83] If You cannot be found
[02:15.56] Then You cannot find me
[02:18.61] Hear me!
[02:21.07] I give up on You
[02:22.39] Like You gave up on me
[02:25.42] Hear me!
[02:35.68] Oh my child
[02:37.91] I am closer than you've ever known
[02:41.05] I see your struggle
[02:43.04] And I know your pain
[02:44.76] 'cause I feel it too
[02:47.38] I am not an absent father
[02:49.88] And my thoughts of you
[02:51.44] Outnumber the stars
[02:54.88] Please know that I am with you
[02:57.57] You are my son
[02:59.08] And
[02:59.63] You
[03:00.23] Are
[03:00.78] Loved
[03:03.67] Beyond measure
[03:05.52] Please trust I can see
[03:07.47] What you can not
[03:09.53] I know the road that lies before you
[03:12.26] And I know the battles
[03:14.11] That you have fought
[03:16.68] I never gave up on you
[03:18.94] These scars were never yours to bare
[03:23.37] Please know that I love you
[03:25.96] And I have always been right here
[03:46.02]
