TO BE WHOLE
LYRICS BY STEFAN HAJEK

like some sort of civilization, i look for peace in the night.
never have i felt so alone, so in a breath of hope do i take.
searching like a homeless nomad for a friend who will take me in.
if the touch were more like a friend, then the kiss would be a lover.

but i have not felt that touch.
have not felt the warmth of those lips.
and the days pass by as years
in the wake of my longing.

it is in the absence of these elements in my life
which make me cry out in the night.
and i yearn again to be whole.
and i learn again to be whole.

i am so very scared, but unashamed. longing for the peace that i once knew.
in the arms of a woman's loving soul... solitude in the inclusion of dependence.
yet a strength which defeats all pain and a quiet depth which completes me.
i am so very empty this night. my soul is drained and my mind is hungry.

i believe in a god who forgives me.
i believe in a lover who makes me whole.
i believe in an everlasting friendship.
and in this cold world, i find these to be sacred.

it is in the absence of these elements in my life
which make me cry out in the night.
and i yearn again to be whole.
and i learn again to be whole.

to be whole...
