Smothered under the blanket sky
Where pinholes of speckled brightness lie
So our souls can breathe the luster divine
But we never can seem to fill our lungs
Why do we feel like we're so far away
But if the sky were to burst and Glory come down
We still wouldn't believe but keep searching still
And it makes us feel we're not alone
But we aren't
If I could paint a picture of you
I'd sketch your eyes with brilliant hues
Your heart as longing as deepest blue
Will you find him, someone you truly love
You think he will finally take you up
But they'll all let you down and watch you fall
They won't love you anymore than you love yourself
But it makes you feel you're not alone
But you aren't
Sleepless nights and endless days
Striving towards the plans I have made
Burning ambition or ceaseless pain
In the end, they're all the same
'Cause they can't give us eyes to see the truth
In the end, we're all the same
'Cause we never really change
We never really change
Lord, give us hope when the night spills out
Cure my wandering eyes of doubt
Give me a heart that faith has bound
And eyes to see the love that I have found
And the sky will burst and Glory come down
I'll be ready to journey beyond the stars
'Cause I know for sure I'm not alone
You're in my heart
You're in my heart
I'm not alone
