[Instrumental Intro 0:00 - 2:28]

[Verse 1]
I held the book so tightly in my hands
I saw your picture, heard you call my name
There was something strange, I could not look away
I wanted to be there, I wanted to go

[Chorus]
You gave me no warning, you gave no reason
But I was with you right by your side
Just give me the strength, and I will help you
And they can try their hardest, 'cause they don't frighten me
It is written in the book

[Verse 2]
It is hotter than I've known before
But I feel so cold, and I don't know why
But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm
Then I really believe, you could make it right

[Chorus]
The time has come now, we must show our feelings
But I'm looking right through you and your heart is empty
Whatever happened to you, it's too late to change now
There's nowhere you can run to, no place to hide
Ah, you let me down!
[Bridge]
But wait a minute, I don't understand
It's getting stronger, so grab my hand
Don't wanna leave you, don't wanna go
But I'm losing all control
Can't you see me? I'm slipping away
I can only stay if you've the will to keep me here
It is written in the book

[Outro]
Oh, so many times since then I've read those words
Just waiting to see you, can you see me?
