Are We Strangers Again Today? (from "Songs Of Faith II" – 2003)

You `ve called on Me for so many years

& I have dried all your bitter tears

You know I `ve answered your every call

I `m always right there to catch you when you fall

But right now, though I `m right here you seem so far away

So, tell Me, tell Me, My sweet child, are we strangers again today ?

It hurts to see you in such stir

When I could give you al the peace in the world

So, why, darling, why must you fret

When I haven ‘t ever failed to care for you yet

So, please, Baby, come into my arms & don `t run away

You know I` d die for you time & again

So, are we strangers again today? (Chorus:)

Are we strangers again today

When I `m the best friend you `ll ever have

Is there nothing you `d like to say to me

No, not even a moment of love?

Don `t you think I might feel a little betrayed

When I `m there and you run off?

So, are we strangers again today, sweet one

Or would you like Me to show you My stuff?

Remember those tears of joy you cried

When you thought of Me in your bed last night

& you thanked Me for all the things I did

& honey I `m really not even beginning to quit

But trouble arose with the break of dawn

& the rush of the new day

I `m here but you can `t seem to hear Me right now

Say, are we strangers again today (Chorus) (Bridge:)

So, why serve yourself an empty glass

Why stare into a mirror, dark

You could be bursting with joy, peace, truth and love

So, are we strangers again, just strangers again

Or would you like me to lift you above?
