Lyrics and translation

Original

Prayed to see You, God, I need You
I was underneath all that hurt
Like a mountain of doubt
Drawing circles with my finger
I was kneeling down in the dirt
With the red sun raging out
Will it come only once?
Will I have to wait my whole life for it?
But Your love don't ever run
It's just only pulling me back towards it
When my faith is thin and fading
When my back's against the ropes
When I'm a stranger to myself
And I don't know where to go
I will call Your name in the darkness
And I know You'll bring me home
And all You ask of me is to finally
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Let it break me, will You shape me?
Like the water shapes the stone
When I'm sinking in this doubt
When my faith is thin and fading
When my back's against the ropes
When I'm a stranger to myself
And I don't know where to go
I will call Your name in the darkness
And I know You'll bring me home
And all You ask of me is to finally
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
When my faith is thin and fading
When my back's against the ropes
When I'm a stranger to myself
And I don't know where to go
I will call Your name in the chaos
And I know You'll bring me home
And all You ask of me is to finally
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
Prayed to see You, God, I need You
I was underneath all that hurt
