Waiting for the lift The boat that went adrift What time is it there No one really cares Talking to the air Say a pointless prayer Everything is muted There is no dispute Take it all away from me My only desperate plea Slowly draining no complaining Take it all from me Jesus said love one another I tried but find no other All the pain and all the suffer Why do we bother Would you look at me Tell me what you see Touch me tenderly In my memory Yesterday is gone Sadness stays on Tomorrow will be worse 'Guess it's our curse Take it all away from me My only desperate plea Slowly draining no complaining Take it all from me Jesus said love one another I tried but find no other All the pain and all the suffer Why do we bother
