We said goodbye once more today.
Her love now seems so far away.
So far away as cooling rains,
Are longed for on the desert plains.
I just put boots on ground today.
The bird out seems so far away.
So far away as home to me,
Out there beyond the farthest sea.
I lost my faith in God today.
His power seems so far away.
As far away as endless night,
Looming, brooding with its might.
I felt the grip of fear today.
Its rigor took my breath away.
It tore away my mask of pride,
And pulled out what I hid inside.
I saw the face of death today.
He came to take my soul away,
So I made a deal to do his will
And he binds me by it still.
