“Absence” is about searching for God or spirituality in times of debilitating darkness.
lyrics
Light of His truth slips my mind after all, after all
My criminal lines and faulty feat
Meet golden shrines by hymns so sweet
When raindrops fall on the ground
Does this mean that I, I have found
Where is my Presence, where is my Friend
I see the darkness, when will this all end
Here, there, and everywhere
He sighs and He mends, He toils and He lends
Here, there, and everywhere
He sighs and He mends, He toils and He lends
Light of His truth slips my mind after all, after all
The absence is my Friend
My timorous tone and still stride find
Nine unknown by clouds divine
When I find my missing space
Daylight reveals my warm embrace
Where is my Presence, where is my Friend
I see the darkness, when will this all end
Here, there, and everywhere
He sighs and He mends, He toils and He lends
Here, there, and everywhere
He sighs and He mends, He toils and He lends
Light of His truth slips my mind after all, after all
The absence is my Friend (absence, absence, absence)
Where is my Presence, where is my Friend
I see the darkness, when will this all end
Here, there, and everywhere
He sighs and He mends, He toils and He lends
Here, there, and everywhere
He sighs and He mends, He toils and He lends
Light of His truth slips my mind after all, after all
The absence is my Friend
