All I Need To Do...

It must be hard for you to understand

How I have fallen into despair

My heart cries out but no one hears

Its deepening sacred fears

My feelings are not ruled by logic

So there should not be a logical cure

I yearn for your love and touch

But they can give me a panic scare

I see myself standing astride

A chasm so deep and wide

I am facing a momentous time

One step may see me forever gone

Your touch I won’t feel

Your whispers dispersed in the air

A force so strong is pulling me ahead

The illusion of its allure I must fight

All I need to do…

All I need to do is…

To turn around to look at your face

To see the love I sometimes fail to realize

To know the tears are shed just for me

And again in your arms I’ll feel protected

All I need to do...

All I need to do is…

To take stock of what I’ve left behind

To seek to regain the balance of my mind

To take a deep breath and concentrate

On the important messages of the day

All I need to do…

All I need to do is…

To say out loud that it matters to me

To know I’m worthy to accept your love

To ask for strength and courage to come from within

So I can calmly walk away if ever the chasm reappears

Please keep talking to me, for

All I need to do is

To hear your voice

And know you’re there
