I don’t want

To be in these streets

there’s gotta be something more

something to smile for

I know the streets are calling

but the rate of love is falling

I don’t want this no more

passing time in this world

searching and failing too

God why can’t I find you

my heart is filled with much regret

going crazy we haven’t met

I hope she feels me too

my soul is calling out for you

I don’t want this no more

passing time in this world

searching and failing too

God why can’t I find you

I’m praying you show one day

so I can meet you in faith

knowing I have dreamed a reality

you were always my destiny

I don’t want this no more

passing time in this world

searching and failing too

God why can’t I find you

I know this is just a dream

but you’re out there for me

there’s a heart that matches mine

and I’ll search for every sign

I don’t want this no more

passing time in this world

searching and failing too

God why can’t I find you
