    Near Life

    I hate the Lies
    I hate the Cries
    I despise the things they say
    I know the world is bad
    (I’ll make it fade away)

    I know the wars
    I see the scores
    The little games they play
    The world’s bad
    Life is sad
    (I’ll make it fade away)

    I see you
    Smiling back
    (I see you; I love you, too)
    I know the world’s a scary place
    (Except that I have you!)
    You are the life
    Within my veins
    (You are the sun,
    Shining through the rain)
    You are the light
    Within the spirit
    You are perfect
    And you KEEP ME NEAR LIFE…

    I cry too
    When I see pain
    I despise the things they say
    I know the world’s bad
    (I’ll make it fade away)

    I want to live
    I want to give
    All the things I have
    All to keep you to myself
    You’re keeping me in check

    I see you
    Smiling back
    (I see you; I love you, too)
    I know the world’s a scary place
    (Except that I have you!)
    You are the life
    Within my veins
    (You are the sun,
    Shining through the rain)
    You are the light
    Within the spirit
    You are perfect
    And you KEEP ME NEAR LIFE…

    You are my life
    You are my light
    In a world where darkness rules
    Keep me here forever now
    (Don’t worry I need you, too)

    I see you
    Smiling back
    (I see you; I love you, too)
    I know the world’s a scary place
    (Except that I have you!)
    You are the life
    Within my veins
    (You are the sun,
    Shining through the rain)
    You are the light
    Within the spirit
    You are perfect
    And you KEEP ME NEAR LIFE…

    (I want you staying here
    I want you to keep me, dear
    You are the love of my life
    You are the one who gives me light)
    I need you
    (I need you, too)
    Keep me here… (I need you)
    As long as I live… (I need you)
    As long as I give you…
    {MY LIFE!}
