Even mountains turn to valleys
And crumble to the sea
Can't you hear me can't you see me 
As I stumble on my knees
Begging you please to take me
Yes take me in your arms 
One more time

Even waves lost on the sea
Are pulled by the stars
And always reach the shore
But I don't know what's pulling me 
As I toss and turn
And feel like I'm drowning
Who will save me from this storm 
That rages in my soul

When I hear your voice

Even deserts scorched and beaten
Can take one night of rain
And raise a river from its grave
But I'm so thirsty
My body's breaking
I try so hard to see 
Some better part of me
But my dreams are empty
All I ever do is pray for rain

When I hear your voice

I feel forgotten 
Yes so forsaken 
But you could say the word
And I shall be healed

When I hear your voice
