The Chariot Lyrics

How can you just turn away
My spirit fades each day you make me stay

God...here you come
In your chariot
Come to take me away
Here with you
The sun is brighter than it's ever been
But it's time to go
I hope that you'll notice how I don't glow like you
Please don't take me back

How can you just turn away
My spirit fades each day you make me
Hide my face in my disgrace
I know there's life beyond this black embrace

How can you just turn away
How can you turn away and leave me here
My spirit fades each day you make me
My spirit fades each and every day you make me stay
Hide my face in my disgrace
And hide my face in my disgrace
I know there's life beyond this black embrace
There's got to be another life beyond this black embrace
And face the truth for once
Face the truth just once for me
For me
I'm just a child
I promise I'll be sweet
I promise I'll be sweet
I'm just a child
I promise I'll be sweet

I'm just a child
I promise I'll be sweet
