Invisible Man

I wrote the lyrics to this song when I was really interested in this girl in the summer of 1998, but she didn't seem to care. Looking back, I thank God that His timing worked things out so that we never hooked up. The interesting thing about this song is that it's had numerous sets of lyrics because my roommate at LSMSA, Mengzhu, originally wrote a set of lyrics and we performed it a bunch of times with his lyrics. Then I wrote another set of lyrics that pertained to my graudating class because people in the class kept saying that they wanted to have someone write a class song (and I wrote a song, and they voted on some stupid pop song.) Anyway, I killed the school lyrics and when Meng and I parted, he took his lyrics, I took the song, and I wrote new lyrics. Because these lyrics are kinda dumb and whiny, I figure I'll probably kill these down the road and turn it into a praise song or something. Anyway, here's invisible man:

Verse 1
Every time I walk into a room
I know if you are there,
And right before I open up the door,
I pray that you'll be there.
At night I think of you,
I hope you think of me;
Then a dark reality bites me,
'cause I know you have better things to do with your time.

Chorus
What's the point of playing this game?
The loser's always the same.
I reach out to touch your hand,
But you don't see it, 'cause I'm the invisible man.

Verse 2
Now we're in the same room,
But you might as well
Be a thousand miles gone,
'cause that's how I feel.
I long to touch you.
I long to call you mine,
But deep down I know, this will never be
'cause you're not in the right frame of mind.

Bridge
Invisible, Invisible...
Hold tightly the one you love.
Kiss softly the one you love.
Cherish every moment with the one you love,
'cause you never know what tomorrow may bring.

Lord, I know I don't understand all the things that are going on in my life right now,
But I know if I turn to You, You'll help me through.

(c)1998
