I picture you in the sun wondering what went wrong
And falling down on your knees asking for sympathy
And being caught in between all you wish for and all you seen
And trying to find anything you can feel that you can believe in

May God's love be with you
Always
May God's love be with you

I know I would apologize if I could see your eyes
'Cause when you showed me myself I became someone else
But I was caught in between all you wish for and all you need
I picture you fast asleep
A nightmare comes
You can't keep awake

May God's love be with you
Always
May God's love be with you

'Cause if I find
If I find my own way
How much will I find
If I find
If I find my own way
How much will I find
You

I don't know anymore
What it's for
I'm not even sure
If there is anyone who is in the sun
Will you help me to understand
'Cause I been caught in between all I wish for and all I need
Maybe you're not even sure what it's for
Any more than me

May God's love be with you
Always
May God's love be with you

    Ok, don't quote me on this, but I'm 95% sure Joseph Arthur wrote and sang the song originally. he was discovered by Peter Gabriel, who later covered this song. It was also covered by Stipe and Martin for a Hurricane Katrina relief program. But no idea.

    I first heard this song in the movie Saved and fell in love. To me (fitting with the movie) it seems to talk about losing touch with and and adapting for oneself a faith of some sort, which is an experience I've been through personally. But who knows...
