Story Behind The Song

For a long time, I was surrounded by people who I considered to be spiritually connected. People I respected. It was frustrating, because conceptually, I got it. But I didn't feel it, so it was nothing more than a concept - and I felt alone because of

Song Description

Longing for something morethan a world that leaves one feeling alone and disconnected.... VERY tired of a world that spends a good part of its' time feeding fear... and insistent on something more.

Lyrics

give me some heart
give me some soul
that's all that i was asking
but you left me standing
in the cold

take away your silence
take away your mystery
you can take away your damned indifference
there's nothing there that i need
i need

something that i can believe
someone who won't
deceive me into thinking that
all hope of love is gone

give me love
give me light
give me music
give me truth and
give me heaven
give me something to believe
in

don't want no dirty money
and don't give me funny faces
when i tell you that i'm not amused
by the way you have betrayed

that's ok
i suppose that i played along
but i should have known better
and now i know better
and i'm not playing anymore

something that i can believe
someone who won't
deceive me into thinking that
all hope of love is gone

give me love
give me light
give me music
give me truth and
give me heaven
give me something to believe
in

i need connection, not redemption
want to feel it in my soul - i need it
don't want nobody else to try and take control
don't want it
don't need somebody else to save me
or be saved - don't need it
don't wanna be somebody's master or a slave

if i'm alone
then turn out the light
when you close the door...

or give me the light.
