From the land where I was born
Here upon a foreign shore forsaken
When I rise you strike me down
Once again a little one you′ve taken
Everywhere I turn it's darker still
You have to be there, you have to
My life I have placed in thy keep
And without you I am drifting on a dark and rising sea
You have to be there, you have to
Without you I′d drown in the deep
Too far, too far from land
Who when I die will throw open his arms to receive me?
Who will believe me and take me into his embrace?
And when I go to my rest, who will watch me and wake me?
When my time comes at last, will you grant me your grace?
I am so small of this Earth, I am nothing without you
Daring to doubt you at all turns a knife in my heart
Little by little I'm losing my way in the shadows
I am losing my home and the world fall apart
You do have to be there, you have to
My life I have placed in thy keep
And without you I am drifting on a dark and rising sea
You have to be there, you have to
Without you I'd drown in the deep
Too far, too far from land
And without you I am drifting on a dark and rising sea
You have to be there, you have to
Without you I′d drown in the deep
Too far, too far from land
