There've been moments of despair
There've been times I couldn't care
I was the lonely one
Then you showed myself to me
And I found I needn't be
Another lonely one
Refrain:
ARunning in the Gwilderness
And Ddreaming in the sF#mun
Aand crying to the Gsky at night
For DGod's eternal F#mSon
Through the truth and through the lies
There is really no disguise
To hide the lonely one
You can find them on card
being matched with other hearts
The really lonely ones
Middle:
GInside your roAoms, behDind you walls
I see your face, you know I hear your call
Is this a madness that's been left unchecked
Or will there always be just promises?
There are men who hold the key
To set everybody free
But they are lonely ones
And if the day should come
When they all can work as one
There'll be a destiny

There've been moments of despair

There've been times I couldn't care

I was the lonely one

Then you showed myself to me

And I found I needn't be

Another lonely one

Refrain:

A G

Running in the wilderness

D F#m

And dreaming in the sun

A G

and crying to the sky at night

D F#m

For God's eternal Son

Through the truth and through the lies

There is really no disguise

To hide the lonely one

You can find them on card

being matched with other hearts

The really lonely ones

Middle:

G A D

Inside your rooms, behind you walls

I see your face, you know I hear your call

Is this a madness that's been left unchecked

Or will there always be just promises?

There are men who hold the key

To set everybody free

But they are lonely ones

And if the day should come

When they all can work as one

There'll be a destiny
