Trusting with My Eyes Closed

If I could for just a few minutes have an end to this relentless thing...
This trusting with my eyes closed
Maybe then I could see a little more clearly

If I could only take a breath without gasping for the next
Without stopping to catch my breath
Maybe then I could raise my eyes to the heavens

If I could only pray without fighting through the fog
The neverending, ceaseless fog
Maybe then I could also know you're near me

If I keep pushing, trudging, and make it through the day
What will the next day hold?
Will this one be the same as the next?

This thing... the thing I call trusting with my eyes closed
Breathing with my eyes closed
Walking with my eyes closed
Did you know that it would be this way?

If I know you... and I believe that I do
Then I know that you've got me in your hand
If I've caught a glimpse of you... and I believe that I have
Then I know that you've caught a glimpse of me too

So much more than a glimpse into the depths of my heart
Into the valleys of my soul
Into the emptiness, the wasteland

If you see me here... and I know that you do
Won't you give me relief?
If you are holding me here... and I know that you are
Won't you let me rest in your arms?

If I could for just a few minutes have an end to this relentless thing...
This trusting with my eyes closed
Maybe then I could follow a little more near
