HOW LONG SINCE.....???

how long has it been

since i talked to a friend

and told them my heart's hidden secrets!?!

how long since i prayed, since i stayed...

on my knees, till light shone through!?!

how long has it been

since my mind felt at ease??

how long since my heart knew no burden?

can you call me your friend?

how long has it been since anybody knew

that i care for them??

how long has it been

since i knelt by my bed

and prayed to Lord, up above in heaven?

how long since i knew that He'll care for me

and would keep me the long night through!?!

how long has it been

since i woke with the dawn

and felt that this day is worth living?

can you call me your friend??

how long has it been since you knew

that i care for you!?!
