Description: Once everything is lost
my money and my fame
and everything it cost me
and everyone I blamed

When everything has vanished
and my reserve is gone
and I can barely manage
to go on.....

I am wide awake
wonderin what I can do
can I break through the silence with the truth
my eyes are open
but empty and afraid
I still struggle to perceive
and believe what I pursue

Dear Elijah
don't leave me here to die
lift me up into the heavens
in the sky upon your flame
Dear Elijah
your message is not lost
though ambivalent
I persist
to justify my cause......

From the errors of my past
I attempt to hide
in an emptiness so vast
and the weakness of my pride
I stand alone
the ground is bare and dry
the darkness is so thick
I can not see the sky....

I am wide awake
wonderin what I can do
can I break through the silence
with of truth
my eyes are open
but empty and afraid
I still struggle to perceive and believe what I pursue

Dear Elijah
don't leave me here to die
lift me up into the heavens
in the sky upon your flames
Dear Elijah
your message is not lost
though ambivalent
I persist
to justify my cause......
