Where Have You Been

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I lit a candle in the dark, but the wind blew it out,
I tried to sing a prayer, but it turned into a shout.
I’ve walked these roads with nothing but doubt,
Wondering where You are — and what life’s all about.

[Pre-Chorus]
But something in me still believes,
Even when I can’t see the leaves
On the tree that once held my dreams,
I still cry out…

[Chorus]
Where have You been when I’ve been alone?
When silence was louder than stone?
I called Your Name in the middle of the night,
Were You hiding in the dark — or were You my light?
Where have You been?
Or have I just not seen…
That You’ve been right here all along?

[Verse 2]
I chased shadows and I broke inside,
Thought I could run, thought I could hide.
But the further I went, the more I knew —
No place could heal me… only You.

[Pre-Chorus]
Even with a heart that’s worn,
Even if my soul is torn,
Could You still hold me like before?
I want to believe…

[Chorus]
Where have You been when I’ve been alone?
When silence was louder than stone?
I called Your Name in the middle of the night,
Were You hiding in the dark — or were You my light?
Where have You been?
Or have I just not seen…
That You’ve been right here all along?

[Bridge]
Maybe it wasn’t You who left…
Maybe I lost my own breath.
Maybe I just closed my eyes
To the tears that You cried… with mine.

[Final Chorus]
Now I see You were never gone,
You were the echo in every song.
You were the warmth I felt through the pain,
The silent whisper calling my name.
Where have You been?
Right here… within.
You’ve been with me all along.
