It’s Sunday once again
The silence feels so near
I drown in heavy thoughts
Because I can’t be with you.
This distance between us
That seems impossible to break
It pulls me down
There’s nothing I can do for us.

If only we could take some steps
And meet halfway
Hope can drive the darkness out
So healing can begin
If we could reach out our hands
So this pain would fade away
That a new time may find us
And the beauty of love prevail.

We’re standing far apart
And hear so many stories
Of a God of mercy
Searched for since forever
But if we feel the same Spirit
That surrounds us all,
How can it be that we lose
ourselves in hate-
The answer lies so near.

If only we could take some steps
And meet halfway
Hope can drive the darkness out
So healing can begin
If we could reach out our hands
So this pain would fade away
That a new time may find us
And the power of love prevail.

I know it’s so very hard
To ask for forgiveness
And to say what we need.
Why are we so merciless,
Every word of the other
feels wrong,
Yet truth has many sides.
Why are we so merciless,
Trapped in bitter strife?
When will we finally be ready?

We can take these steps
And meet halfway
Hope can drive the darkness out
And healing will begin.
Now we reach out our hands
So this pain will fade away
That a new time may find us
And the beauty of love prevail.

We can take these steps
And meet halfway
Hope can drive the darkness out
And healing will begin.
Now we reach out our hands
So this pain will fade away
That a new time may find us
And the beauty of love prevail.
