I hear you praying in silence
Not for me, but for yourself
Are you asking for forgiveness
Its done, but have you forgiven yourself
You see yourself treading water
In an unseen sea of your tears
You ask, can you swim to my shore
I’ve always been here, the choice is yours
I may speak words you are afraid to hear
So don’t sacrifice me to your pain and fear
I’ve performed a few miracles now and then
But, please, don’t ask me to walk on water again
I know that your love is strong
The devil’s words made you feel wrong
And me, before, you have denied
Within a moment, you disavowed me three times
Once you left me hanging from a cross
I still have the wounds from which I bled
So pardon me if I’m hesitant this day
I don’t feel like being crucified, again, today
I may speak words you are afraid to hear
So don’t sacrifice me to your pain and fear
I’ve performed a few miracles now and then
But, please, don’t ask me to walk on water again
I am aware of your doubts
I am aware of your confusion
I do know the situation
Am I a temptation
Are you aware of my doubts
Are you aware of my confusion
You do know the situation
Yet, you offer me one more temptation
Would you like forever to be with me
In our love, a taste of eternity
Or maybe just an afternoon
Well, that would be Okay with me
There is one thing you must do
Believe in me, the way I believe in you
But I may speak words you are afraid to hear
So don’t sacrifice me to your pain and fear
I’ve performed a few miracles now and then
But, please, don’t ask me to walk on water again
I can’t be only a clandestine friend
So don’t ask me to walk on that water again
Please, not again
