I Won't Be Persuaded (What Kind Of Love Album Version)

To be so close to the pain

When I know the one

Who loves me most

Could make it all change

Sometimes I'm lost

In the land of questioning

And I rub together timesless truths

Like flint and stone in the rain

And I don't understand where you are in all this

Still I wait and hope and pray and wish

And I won't be persuaded

Still I will believe beyond what I can see

No, I won't be persuaded

Not after all that we've been through

I won't turn my back on you

What would I hold

If not this simple thread

Cords of mercy bound together

Whit you on the other end

What can I do

When I cannot see your hands

That keep reaching out as if

You're never far from where I stand

But I don't understand where you are in all this

Still I remind myself to trust in you

'Cause I know what love is

Oh, I know you love me so

Still I get so tired sometimes

Won't you lift me up my love
