He Found Me

Oh, how I want to be loved, he cried

Lonely boy, all alone

Where are my people?

What happened to my safety?

What have I done?

Have I done something wrong?

Why does the way of things hurt me?

Surely somewhere there is true beauty

I know it's real, I hold it in my heart

I know that it can be found out there

No one wants it!

No one seems to want it!

So much beauty in me

How can no one see?

See how I love

See how I hold on to you

Why would they forget me?

When my only hope

Was simply to love them

But now I see it wasn't true

For beauty was everywhere

All around me, always

Freedom danced around me

Even though I could not see

Until I came to the edge of the abyss

That's when He came

Single and easy

To remind me

The He was not the problem
