Lyrics
Verse 1
I’m discouraged
Who can save me from this pain
I am Hurting
I have nothing left to give
My Soul cries out
Where are you now
In my hour of greatest need
You’ve gone missing
I’m screaming out, a silent shout
I don’t know where else to turn
Are you Listening
Verse 2
I am Tired
There’s a strength I used to know
Can’t Pray like I used to
Cause I am weary
Nothing’s changing
You can stop a show
My Soul cries out
Where are you now
In my hour of greatest need
You’ve gone missing
I’m screaming out, a silent shout
I don’t know where else to turn
Are you Listening
Bridge
I’m sitting in my tears
You’re sitting right here
Feels good Just to know
You still hold me close
You still hold me close
I’m sitting in my tears
You’re sitting right here
Feels good Just to know
Father holds me close
Outro
My Soul cries out
Where are you now
In my hour when I needed you most
Seems like you went missing
I’m screaming out,
It’s a silent shout
I don’t know where else to turn
Are you Listening

Meaning & Inspiration
The song gives language to discouragement when prayer feels difficult and God’s presence seems hidden. Its questions are not resolved with a quick answer; they name pain, weariness, and the fear that a silent cry has gone unheard. This honest lament recalls many psalms, where faith and perplexity appear side by side. The words treat anguish as something that can be spoken before God rather than concealed behind confident religious language.
The bridge quietly shifts the perspective: the sufferer remains in tears, yet the Father is present and holding close. The song therefore does not dismiss suffering or portray doubt as failure. It presents prayer as the act of calling out when certainty is absent, followed by comfort in divine nearness before circumstances have changed. The closing return to the central question preserves the tension between felt abandonment and faithful presence, giving the song an appropriately unresolved but hopeful conclusion.
