"Are You There?" lyrics

"Are You There?"
(from "What They Had" soundtrack)

Where are you?
Are you there?
Where are you?
Are you there?
Are you waiting at the golden stair?

Can I be, can I be free?
Will I be, am I soon to be free?
Do you remember you loving me?

In my quiet time
I pray with you, I pray with you
Deep in my heart
Where every word I ever dreamed
Is cross-stitched on my pillow
Now, I lay me down to sleep
Beneath the weeping willow

Will you, you carry me?
Will you, will you carry me again?
Will you wrap me in your arms
Like you did way back then?
Hold me, hold me tight
Show me the cheek by the firelight
I'll know it's you by touch and sound and sight

I'll walk and run, peek in each room
Look in, where have you gone?
Where should I go?
When every doorway leads to nowhere
I am lost and broken
Come for me and take me home
And crack my heart wide open

(Who is there?)
I look out
(Who is there?)
All looks the same
But a mirror holds no claim

(Who is there?)
Who's standing here?
(Who is there?)
In the shadows
Will he stay or will he run?
I give him what he wants

Where should I, where should I be?
Who's taken my life
Are they looking for me?
