I wish that I could be loved
To hold the hand of God
That stars shining above
Could ignite a lightning rod

Many years and days alone
I walked and prayed with you
I no longer know my home
I have searched to find your truth

I sat by you on this shore
Upon rocks in the sand
Waiting to be adored
Yet, refusing to take your hand

I hear these waves crash and die
Short lifespans savage, then gone
I feel so still inside
Always a bit withdrawn

I wish that I could be loved
To believe, to be with you
To touch and to be touched
As each night and day renew
