Just One Day

None can stand before me, but none will stand beside
The powerful one whose great love is hidden deep inside

Though my bones cannot be broken, my heart cannot be healed
Of all the pain and misery I force myself to feel

I want to be with you, but how?
My power will not help me now
I want to feel love's shining ray
I'd give it all for just one day

Though my mouth speaks words of power, my eyes cry bitter tears
As I look back upon all those long and lonely years

Though I could endure forever, I wish my trials would end
And grant me my reward, of a kind and trusting friend

I want to be with you, but how?
My power will not help me now
I want to feel love's shining ray
I'd give it all for just one day

I'd beg them to approach me, but none of them would dare
I hold the world between my hands, but none hold me in theirs

I solve the problems of the world, but I cannot solve my own
They wouldn't want to be me, if they knew I was alone

I want to be with you, but how?
My power will not help me now
I want to feel love's shining ray
I'd give it all for just one day
