lyrics

I hold in my heart an image of my love for you
and I hold in my hand an image of your love for me
all the ways I tried to find you
and all the ways I still deny you

like a seed in the ground reaching for light
I call out your name as I crawl through the night
from the belly of my soul I cry mercy

and I feel whole
when I feel you close
and I won't let go
no I won't

I miss myself so bad, I was the only one I ever had
I want to cry, I want to scream
I want to shake myself awake from this broken dream

and I feel hope
when I feel you close
and I won't let go
no I won't

like a seed in the ground reaching for light
I call out your name as I crawl through the night
I cry mercy

and I feel whole
when I feel you close
and I won't let go
no I won't

I hold in my heart an image of my love for you
