Father, I'm a wayward son
Caught between the right and the wrong
Nursing a heartache
Seeing everything but the writing on the wall

So I'm down on my knees in prayer
Crying out 'cause the truth isn't clear
In all this confusion
I'm crying for your love and the healing words you share

Talk to me gently again
You can see that I need you
Talk to me gently again
Don't leave me like this

Far from your guiding hand
Missing everything you had planned
All for no reason
You're the only one with an understanding word

Talk to me gently again
I'm longing to hear you
Talk to me gently again
I'm waiting right here
Give me reassurance
Talk to me gently again

So many lies found concealed in the smiling faces I can't fight
There's no more laughter, there's no more sleep because I'm up all night
I feel abandoned, I feel so betrayed, my trust is gone
My faith is shaking, where are the friends that I counted on?
I'm counting on you

Talk to me gently again
You can see that I'm lonely
Talk to me gently again
Don't leave me like this
Give me reassurance
Talk to me gently again

Talk to me gently
Talk to me gently
Talk to me gently again!
