I Can Hear Them Now

I was just a shy boy
From the other side of town
You were sent from up above
To make me turn around

Will I need a miracle to make me look my way?
Or take the loneliness of living one more day

I need you
I feel you calling through my heart
I wait for the line to break so I can hold you in my arms
But I can't touch you
And break through to the other side
Don't even know that I'm alive

Every night I say a prayer
For those of us who care
That it's all been a bad dream
We've got years and years of time
(I can hear them now)

I was just a shy boy
(I can hear them now)
I can hear the angels crying
(I can hear them now)
As they tell the story with tears in their eyes
Don't even know that I'm alive
