I need you to listen
I need you to answer
I need you to listen
I need you to answer
O God, I need you to
I want to see your face
It is this love I have
It makes me search for you
I need you to listen
I need you to answer
I need you to listen
I need you to answer
Do not avoid my eyes
Or let me anger you
Do not toss me aside
O God, do not drop me
I need you to listen
I need you to answer
I need you to listen
I need you to answer
You are the only hope
I have; father, mother
They can leave me orphaned
But your love must never
Lead me to you, O God,
Along the smoothest road
I need you to listen
I need you to answer
I need you to listen
I need you to answer
There are those who hate me
Do not leave me to them
They eat my life away
By lying under
Oath or twisting evidence
I need you to listen
I need you to answer
I need you to listen
I need you to answer
I trust your love
I will see your beauty after death
In your land of life
My love will wait for you
It will be strong waiting
O God, my love will wait!
I need you to listen
I need you to answer
I need you to listen
I need you to answer
