I stood up, you stayed in your chair,
You didn't get it, you even looked put out,
But I had no doubt you'd see the change and someday do the same,
That was quite a while ago,

The days are getting shorter, they're expecting record lows.

If you could hear me pray tonight would you be angry or surprised to hear your name announced, followed by a pause or even tears, like I've done for all these years'

The days are getting shorter, I suspect it's gonna snow.

What does it take to make you see love inside of me'
What does it take to make you see the truth that I believe'
What does it take to make you see the pain it's causing me'
Oh, why can't you see'
Oh.

The days are getting shorter but I won't surrender hope.

What does it take to make you see the love inside of me'
What does it take to make you see the truth that I believe'
Is there a stone I've left unturned'
Is there a way I've not explored'
What does it take to shake your world, to turn you to my lord'
What does it take to make you see' (oh)
What does it take to make you see' (to my Lord)
What does it take to make you see' (oh)
What does it take to make you see'
