"Taking Ground" complete

As I walk here in this barren desert,
my feet scraping against sand.
I reach into the open air,
praying for a hand.
Although I cannot see it
I know it must be there.
I've been waiting all my life to find
someone who really cares.
My tears have fallen long enough
to form a thousand seas,
But tears can't lend the power as
can falling to my knees.
I know you hear every whisper,
every little cry.
So why does it never seem to work
every time I try?

I'm screaming 'til my throat bleeds
but never making sound.

I've sat here in this prison
never rising from the ground.

But I know He heard these muffled cries,
and brought me back to life.

So now I owe my all to Him,
and give myself tonight.
