it's here inside your heart I hide

wanting us to meet

hoping that you'll look inside and see

all that I offer

all I have planned

but you turn your head again

come to this quiet place

where I am now 

wanting to hold you somehow

you're young and frightened

I hold your peace

don't you want this from Me

CHORUS

the longer I'm waiting

the farther you go

away from the love that's here

the louder I whisper

the softer it seems

falling on your ear

I see the darkest side

you never show

I know the places you go

this door that you're closing

is keeping out

the answers you need to find

CHORUS

I'm getting closer now

open your ears

I'm coming closer now

open your heart - you will hear

CHORUS

I'm getting closer now

open your ears

I'm coming closer now

open your heart

I'm getting closer now

why can't you hear

I'm coming closer now
