Filling The Void


I can sum up all of life's dreams
But it always goes back to 
What seems
Like you and me
How I cannot live without you
The air I breathe
The words I sing
I don't want to sound like I'm in need
But darling I am freed
When you're with me
Everything makes sense
Even when the rain spurts from the ground
And everyone swims upside down
I turn around
And grab your outstretched hand,
I may stumble,
But I'll always stay afloat
And watch the sun
And gloat 
About how the word will never dim,
I need Him.
In God I finally see
A world made for me,
One of light and dreams
And everything is far more beautiful
Than it seems.
I have learned to love myself first
And I can't avoid getting hurt
So when I do,
I close my eyes
And breathe in all the skies
I find Him there
With many Suns to share
He gives me strength and light
Even in the darkest night 
And I know some are at ease
Because they learned to ignore the breeze
But on a hot summers day
I can't help but say
I'm refreshed and nourished,
He made it that way
For I need God to live happily,
And He needs me to believe.
