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
