[Verse 1]
   Life lashes out, cutting cruel, and mean
   When I need you the most, you stay hidden, unseen
   As I struggle again, slowly drudging my way
   through yet another long, prolonged, painful day

[Chorus]
   I cry and I scream out, where are you Lord?
   Only silence answers me.

[Verse 2]
   I long to see your kind, gentle face,
   To feel myself wrapped in your loving embrace
   To gaze into your eyes, while I hold your pierced hand
   To stand by your side, to know that I can.

 [Chorus]
   I cry and I scream out, where are you Lord?
   Only silence answers me.

[Verse 3]
   I strain and I listen, for a whisper, for your voice
   It seems that you leave me with no other choice
   Will you speak to me Lord, on my knees as I pray
   that through these tear soaked eyes I can see you today

[Chorus]
   I cry and I scream out, where are you Lord?
   Only silence answers me.

[Verse 4]
   I know your word is true and I choose to believe
   I feel deep in my heart, that I'm not just naive
   The heavens themselves they proclaim you exist
   These are hard facts, that I can not resist

[Chorus]
   I cry and I scream out, where are you Lord?
   Yet Only silence answers me.

[Ending]
   Only silence answers me.
   Only silence answers me.
   Only silence answers me.
