I know that there's a reason why I need to be alone You show me there's a silent place that I can call my own Is it mine, Oh Lord is it mine? You know I get so weary from the battles in this life And there's many times it seems that you're the only hope in sight Is it mine, Oh Lord is it mine? CHORUS: When everything's dark and nothing seems right, There's nothing to win and there's no need to fight I never cease to wonder at the cruelty of this land But it seems a time of sadness is a time to understand Is it mine, Oh Lord is it mine? CHORUS When everything's dark and nothing seems right, You don't have to win and there's no need to fight If only I could find a way To feel your sweetness through the day The love that shines around me could be mine. So give us an answer, won't you, We know what we have to do, There must be a thousand voices trying to get through.
