[Verse 1]

I've dug up miles and miles of sand

Searching for something I can't see

I've just got bruised and battered hands

And a brand new void inside of me

Complete with walls I did create

From all the earth that I've displaced

A mess that I have made from what

I've just let pile and pile up

I have not been abandoned, no, I have not been

Deserted, and I have not been forgotten

[Chorus]

(Whoa-oa) I need You

(Whoa-oa) I need You here, I need You now

I need security somehow

(Whoa-oa, whoa-oa) I need You like You would not believe

You're the only thing I want

'Cause You're everything, everything I need

[Verse 2]

Explore the cave that is my chest

And a torch reveals there's nothing left

Your whispers echo off the walls

And You can hear my distant calls

The voice of who I used to be

Screaming out, "Someone, someone please

Please shine a light into the black

Wade through the depths and bring me back"

I have not been abandoned, no, I have not been

Deserted, and I have not been forgotten

[Chorus]

(Whoa-oa) I need You

(Whoa-oa) I need You here, I need You now

I need security somehow

(Whoa-oa, whoa-oa) I need You like You would not believe

You're the only thing I want

'Cause You're everything, everything I need

(Whoa-oa) I need You

(Whoa-oa) I need You now

[Bridge]

When my hopes seem to dangle somewhere just beyond my reach

You say You've heard my prayers

You've read my words there on the beach

[Chorus]

(Whoa-oa) I need You

(Whoa-oa) I need You here, I need You now

I need security somehow

(Whoa-oa, whoa-oa) I need You like You would not believe

You're the only thing I want

'Cause You're everything, everything

(Whoa-oa) I need You

(Whoa-oa) I need You here, I need You now

I need security somehow

(Whoa-oa, whoa-oa) I need You like You would not believe

You're the only thing I want

'Cause You're everything, everything, everything

I need You

I need You now
