[Verse 1] Longing for love, silent cries, Loneliness from touch starvation, wondering why, Hope deferred, too heavy to bear, Trying to keep faith, but it's getting hard to care. [Chorus] Do we keep hoping, believing, in the night so deep? Do we hold onto faith when it's hard to keep? Through the shadows, somehow we find our way, Tunnel vision, faith leads to a brighter day So now I lay me down to sleep Longing in the night so deep, Prayers that my angels will see The longing for love inside of me inside of me [Verse 2] A longing fulfilled, like a tree in bloom, But what happens when hope meets its doom? Dreams denied, cast into the night, Yet still we search for that guiding light.. [Chorus] [Bridge]: longing for love loneliness from touch starvation Hope deferred makes the heart sick Try to keep the faith but it’s hard to see A longing fulfilled is the tree to life But what happens when hope dies And your dreams are denied somebody help me out now [Chorus] Do we keep hoping, believing, in the night so deep? Do we hold onto faith when it's hard to keep? Through the shadows, somehow we find our way, Tunnel vision, faith leads to a brighter day So now I lay me down to sleep Longing in the night so deep, Prayers that my angels will see The longing for love inside of me inside of me me, me, me it's inside of me la, lah, lah, lah ahhh [outro] So now I lay me down to sleep Longing in the night so deep, Prayers that my angels will see The love that lives inside of me
