I Am Nothing
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.
I am nothing without You
Only a fly upon the wall
Listening in, hoping to find something about You
That will keep me from this fall
And sometimes I catch a glimpse
And my heart begins to beat
Day by day awaken me
You put the wind beneath my feet
I don't follow water
That brings life to me
'cause I don't follow truth, oh
That sets man free
I am nothing without You
Only the dirt beneath Your nails
My heart is bruised and it's broken
And my soul is very frail
Please give me a reason
I need to name this man
And no longer this broken treason
Only on You I will stand
I don't follow water
That brings life to me
'cause I don't follow truth, oh
That sets man free (x2)
Please mend these broken wings
And take the scales from my eyes
Without You I am nothing
I will not survive (x2)
I don't follow water
That brings life to me
'cause I don't follow truth, oh
That sets man free (x2)
