[Verse 1]
Cold and numb, parched and dry
Staring up into an empty sky
Heavy lungs, tired eyes
Every breath is like a desperate cry
[Pre-Chorus]
How long, O Lord?
How long?
[Chorus]
How can I praise you if I'm in the grave?
How can I follow if my bones are breaking?
And how can I live if your hand will not save?
Have I been forsaken?
Left with my temptation?
Will you leave me naked?
[Verse 2]
Spirit come, cover me
I believe but help my unbelief
Yeah
[Chorus]
How can I praise you if I’m in the grave?
How can I follow if my bones are breaking?
And how can I live if your hand will not save?
Have I been forsaken?
Left with my temptation?
Will you leave me naked?
[Bridge]
My toes are freezing and my fingers are numb
How could you leave me after how far we've come?
Not even asking for a seat at the table, I'm just askin’ for crumbs
A little strength in my bones and a little bit of breath in my lungs
Cause although the demons are screamin' and leavin' me feelin' like no one can hear me I'm lost in this crowd
Swear that I'm seekin' you, but if you're speakin’ I can’t even hear it
So why don't you start speaking loud
Cause if you don’t catch me it won't be the death of me
Don't wanna rescue me before I hit the ground
I know you saved me once, but it's not enough
So c’mon, c'mon, c'mon save me now
[Chorus]
How can I praise you if I'm in the grave?
How can I follow if my bones are breaking?
And how can I live if your hand will not save?
Have I been forsaken?
Left with my temptation?
Will you leave me naked?
