Lyrics

When I Needed (copyright 2003 Eric D. Larson)

I tried to stop the men in gray
but they went rushing in
the walls soon came crashing down
will they rise again

no hope for this place, I read
it's buried in the hurt
the shovels have no chance at this
they can only move the dirt

when I needed something
there to catch my fall
when I needed someone
you weren't there at all

why can't you see how
their eyes fill again
rivers flood their burning hearts
that catch cold again

I ran to check the back door
but you weren't coming in
I fell on my knees and screamed
it happened again

when I needed something
there to catch my fall
when I needed someone
you weren't there at all

the world was shadowed by a gray cloud today
the world was shattered in my hands today

but you saw everything
the pain, the hurt and tears
you were there all the time with me
and right until the end

when I needed something
there to catch my fall
I had finally felt you
the ground beneath it all

when I needed something
there to catch my fall
I had finally felt you
the ground beneath it all

the world was bathing in a warm light today
the world was cradled in your hands today
