Lyrics

The Last Letter

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Sitting alone up in your empty room

In the stillness of the night

Where all the many dreams that used

To carry you

Are no longer in sight

You put your feelings down in black

And white

A sad, disturbing reply

That you don't really want to face

Another night

So you're saying goodbye

But did you know that you're saying

Goodbye

To a lifetime

Well I've got to tell you there's

Another way

To be free-to be complete

But you've got to make it thru

Another day

And deny you're own defeat

(Don't give in)

And I'm here to tell you there's

Another way

To comsume a hungry heart

All the love you need is just a prayer

Away

Let him in to where you are

You've made it to the edge of

Seventeen

Thinking now you've reached the end

Of the line

But there's so much of life that you

Have never seen

Now you won't have the time

You say that you don't hear the

Music play

So your ready to give up the dance

Now that nothing really matters

Anyway

Oh, you give up your chance

But do you know that you give up

Your chance

At a lifetime

Well I've got to tell you there's

Another way

To be free-to be complete

But you've got to make it thru

Another day

And deny you're own defeat

(Don't give in)

And I'm here to tell you there's

Another way

To comsume a hungry heart

Jesus is just a prayer away

Let him in to where you are
