Be Near Me

I follow all the rules Well, at least I'm trying Hoping when my days are through You'll be pleased I've lived the longest days Thinking my heart was so bad Too scared to look in your face Oh, if only I had And is it alright If I stay here all night By the shoreline? I cannot believe you're angry or unjust You've done nothing but have compa*sion on us So be near when I've given up, be near me I'm just like everyone else We are all hiding Acting like I have a wealth Of knowledge and peace But all I've ever wanted And what men have given their lives for Is a God who understands my weaknesses A God that I can love Is it alright If I stay here all night By the shoreline? I cannot believe you're angry or unjust You've done nothing but have compa*sion on us So be near when I've given up, be near me Yeah yeah yeah yeah And I believe you are good and righteous You've given me your reckless love So be near, be near Is it alright If I stay here all night By the shoreline? I cannot believe you're angry or unjust You've done nothing but have compa*sion on us I cannot believe you're angry or unjust You've done nothing but have compa*sion on us So be near when I've given up Be near me and be near me, be near me
