I hear a call, now will I answer? Forsake my all to serve another Though darkness falls stay a believer I hear a call, now will I answer?
I see a light, now will I follow? Fill up this life that grows more hollow Make joy reside where there lives sorrow I see a light, now will I follow? I hear a call >From out of nowhere And from everywhere I go I hear a call, now will I answer? I feel a touch, now will I hold on? Be there with love for those with no one With a kindness such, it lives though I'm gone I feel a touch, now will I hold on? I hear a call >From out of nowhere And from everywhere I go I see a light, now will I follow I feel a touch, now will I hold on? I hear a call, now will I answer?
