Where are You?
I cannot find
Why, oh why
Must You hide?
Come out, come out
Come out to me
Show me You’re true
That You’re not fantasy
I have been taught
That You are always there
And everyone says
That You always care
So please show me
So I can believe them
Show me it’s true
Show me Hashem
But then it hits me
I just realized
Hashem is right here
I’ve just closed my eyes
I may not see You
At any time
But I know You are there
Always by my side
