lyrics

I find you sitting on your own
I dont know why, but I'd rather you not be alone
So I tried to fight your way out of the cold
I dont know why, I can hear my own songs getting old

And I sold myself for some moldy bread
And today my body turned up dead

And I know
I finally see your ghost
Rising up to me
And I choke
I feel myself letting go
Rising up to see

You've heard every word that I've cried
Yet you leave this thorn sticking in my side
You said "My child why can't you see?"
But God your grace, it is always sufficient for me

And you hold my hand through the pain
And you my Lord will sustain

And I know
I finally see your ghost
Rising up to me
And I choke
I feel myself letting go
Rising up to see
