Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

My life is like a racing car hurtling towards the wall

At the speed of sound

My time has been so finely tuned

But I've never seen a human being so tightly wound

At times it seems beyond belief

I just need a bit of relief

Like a war-weary soldier

Marching up and over the edge

Take my hand and pull me up cause I'm falling too fast

Somehow I've lost my way - I'm cryin' save me


Chorus

Can you hear me...I'm calling out

I'm crying out...a cry for love

I can feel you...you're touching me

You healing me...my cry for love


I will be the first to admit

I don't have the strength to handle it alone anymore

I don't have to fret, don't have to explain

All my worrying's in vain

I'm not alone anymore


Why is this so hard to believe

What is mine is mine to freely receive

Like the changing of seasons

This is the beauty of the word

And for all that I have seen and heard

Oh I want to come home

Somehow I'll make my way - my way home to you


Chorus


Bridge:

Oh Father hear my call (Oh Father hear my call)

I know you'll catch me when I fall

Oh Father hear my call

I know you'll catch me when I fall

Oh I pray that you'll hold me now

Hold me

And take my fear away


I'm cryin' save me

Oh I know that you can hear me

Hear me crying out for love

Oh I know that you can feel my cry for love...ooh...


I can feel you - you're calling out

You're crying out - a cry for love

I can feel you - you're touching me

You're healing me - my cry for love
