I need you now

It’s a dark time and I don’t know where to go

Am I meant to stay this way forever?

Lord, You’re the only one who knows and I am yours

In this moment I surrender

My worst anxieties, impossibilities

They feel like ordinary days

The stories in my mind, unruly and unkind

I just can’t make them go away

Too many hours, too many days

Feeling hopeless and broken, lost and afraid

Oh, teach me to be just a little more brave

‘Cause I don’t know if I can face, another ordinary day

I need you now

It’s a sad time and I don’t know what to do

Am I meant to be this way forever?

You, are the only one to show me what is true

So I will surrender

All the worst parts of me, the pain and misery

They feel like ordinary days

The stories in my head that hurt me to no end

How can I make them go away?

Too many hours, too many days

Feeling hopeless and broken, lost and afraid

Oh, teach me to be just a little more brave

‘Cause I don’t know if I can face, another ordinary day

Sometimes the dreaming’s all I ever do

Sometimes I fall asleep and dream of dreaming too

My heart is open and my spirit free

Still I’m not where I want to be

I’m spending days with my head in the clouds

I’m walking circles and I get lost in the crowd

I can’t believe all of the time that’s gone

Still I’m not where I belong

Once I gave it all to have it all

I used to be more than just a dreamer

More than just a dreamer
It’s time to pick myself up from the fall

I want to be more than just a dreamer

More than just a dreamer

Head in the clouds

Help me find a way out

Sometimes I cry for all the things I’ve missed

Sometimes I wonder why it all has come to this

But I know there’s a reason for these tears

A reason why I’m still here

I’ve lived in shadows for the past few years

Dreaming in secret in the company of fears (though accompanied by fear)

But something’s calling that I can’t ignore

Something good my life is for

Once I gave it all to have it all

I used to be more than just a dreamer

More than just a dreamer

It’s time to pick myself up from the fall

I want to be more than just a dreamer

More than just a dreamer

Head in the clouds

Help me find a way out

Help me find a way out

Once I gave it all to have it all

I used to be more than just a dreamer

More than just a dreamer

It’s time to pick myself up from the fall

I want to be more than just a dreamer

There are some days I can’t wake

Problems that I can’t face

Shame about the mistakes, that I’ve made

There are some nights I can’t sleep

Worries keeping me weak

And I find it hard to believe in me

But it can take just one blessed minute

To suddenly be overcome

I can’t put into words the way that it feels,

To discover your love

Every time I am alone

I think about life on my own

Troubled by everything I still don’t know

Every time I am afraid

Worried ‘bout things I can’t change

I pray that I will be okay, someday

And it can take just one blessed minute

To suddenly be overcome

I can’t put into words the way that it feels,

To discover your love

You say all things in life have beauty in their own time

You say you’re here with me in darkness and in the light

And if I only set my sights above

It can take just one blessed minute

To suddenly be overcome

Nothing can replace this feeling

Knowing that you are the one

You’ve given me a heart worth beating

So into your arms I will run

I can’t put into words the way that it feels,

To discover your love
