There is an empty place...

There is an empty place
Deep inside my soul.
There is an empty place
Where loneliness grows.
A hole, a need, a desire
That hides all else.
There is an empty place...

I see the things that come so close.
A touch, a hug, a word of peace.
Everyone smiles. What is that they have?
There is an empty place.

You're supposed to fill it.
You're supposed to be so big.
What is this place that eludes Your grasp?
And leaves me feeling lost.
I look for You and You're not there.
I wait and long and cry.
And all that echoes in my ears
Is the sound of silence and days gone by.

There is an empty place
Deep inside my soul.
Where there is no cross
Or voice that's not my own.
A longing for someone
Who has no name.
A cry for something
That never came.

There is an empty place
Waiting for You.
