I am closer to believing  Than I ever was before  On the crest of this elation  Must I crash upon the shore  And with the driftwood of acquaintance  Light the fire to love once more  I am wind blown...i am times.    To be closer to believing  To be just a breath away  On the death of inspiration  I would buy back yesterday  But there's no crueller illusion  There's no sharper coin to pay  As I reach out... it slips away    From the opium of custom  To the ledges of extremes  Don't believe it till you've held it  Life is seldom what it seems  But lay your heart upon the table  And in the shuffling of dreams  Remember who on earth you are    I need me  You need you  We want us    But of course you know I love you  Or what else am I here for  Only you not face to face  But side by side for evermore  And I need to be here with you  For without you what am i  Just another fool out searching  For some heaven in the sky  Take me closer to believing  Take me forward lead me on  Through collision and confusion  While there's life beneath the sun  You are the reason I continue  So near for so long  So close yet so far away    I need me  You need you  We want us to live forever  So don't let the curtain fall  Measure after measure  Of writing on the wall  That burns so brightly  It blinds us all    I need me  You need you  We want us to be together  On sundays in the rain  Closer than forever  Against or with the grain  To ride the storms of love again    So be closer to believing  Though your world is torn apart  For a moment changes all things  And to end is but to start  And if your journey's unrewarded  May your God lift up your heart  You are windblown  But you are mine    these lyrics are submitted by burkul
