Solitude

All I wanted was the quiet

All I needed was Your peace

Tried to hide inside the silence

Till You spoke inside of me

The world keeps on turning, turning

But I've got heaven where I breathe

I hear You calling, calling

Just to bring my soul to ease

My happy place is usually my quiet place

So pardon me if I look like I be plotting my escape

Well, that's the case, I don't wanna stay

Just wanna up and fly away

So far away from here, if I'm found out, then I'll try again

I'm not suicidal, I'm just thinking out loud

This is not about survival, it's bout leaving the crowd

Seeking for space in the rhythm, I'm in deep in oblivion

Where no one's digging my business, all is lit in the clouds

It's kinda bleak sometimes, but there's no clearer path

And God's own wisdom tells me this is just a test of character

So while I tear apart my fears and take care of my affairs

I'll be trying not to let these foxes jeopardise my cares

Living right, and leading a quiet life while at it

Seeking light, these peaceful days and silent nights are bliss

A little something for the dreamer, I'm just trailing the Redeemer

Apparently I'm in quite a fix

All I wanted was the quiet (solitude)

All I needed was Your peace

Tried to hide inside the silence (far from you)

Till You spoke inside of me

The world keeps on turning, turning

But I've got heaven where I breathe

I hear You calling, calling

Just to bring my soul to ease

Nothing is the same again, I see the rain again

It feels like I'm a renegade and solitude my serenade

I like to keep it plain and simple

Straighten up the facts for you to see beyond the wrinkle

I speak it from the heart, no need to mingle with the fickle

And if I fade away, I pray the message be the ripple

I hope it hits you, that there's a hole that no one can contain

Except the one who's been here long enough to heal the pain

All I wanted was the quiet (solitude)
