Why do you call me the light of the world...?

Why do you call me the light of the world when all things around me turn black?

Why do you claim that my smile lights the way when I just feel the need to turn back?

How can you love me when all I do just turns from a dream to dust?

How can I polish the silver when all I can see is rust?

How can you give me everything when nothing is what I deserve?

How can you tell me that I am your dream when life has lost it's nerve?

How can I fix the unfixable?
How can I make you mine?
How can I change the unthinkable
And still come out with time?

Time to make you happy...
Time to make you proud...
Time to make you want me...
To shout my name out loud...

Without you I am nothing...
The dirt along the ground...
Long gone the inspiration of which you were so proud...

A long time dead the shining smile behind the laughing eyes...
I know not how to win you back...
I fear my time is nigh...

I cling on for security
I know not where I'd be
Without you here beside me
My life, my soul, my tree...

Reaching out your branches,
Like loving arms to mine,
Entwine my heart you mighty oak,
For it is ever thine...
