For forty days, and forty nights
My lips they cracked, my tongue was dry
I tried to speak but no works came
When I'm screaming out your name
The father, son, and holy ghost
They speak to me in rhyme
They show the way to lead me home
But I'm still blind
Why can't you hear me
Why can't you hear me
Have I been alone for so long
That I began to talk in tongues
The conversations I have with you
Are only in my head
Why can't you hear me
For forty days, and forty nights
My lips they cracked
The bottles dry
Tried to sip from an empty well
The sand in my mouth tastes like hell
Why can't you hear me
Why can't you hear me
Have I been alone for so long
That I began to talk in tongues
The conversations I have with you
Are only in my head
Why can't you hear me
