Lyrics Near - Stryper

As I lie in the dark
I see you so clear
Your face has been printed
In my mind, in my heart
For the rest of my years

We all need somebody
Someone who can be
The ground that we walk on
With strength that is anchored
Like a deep-rooted tree

That's why I need you to be near
That's why I need you to be here
That why I need you to be
Anywhere but far away, my dear
You are the one who makes me whole
I trust with all my body and soul
Darling, I love you
I need you to know

This life isn't partial
No, it doesn't choose
Those who are hurting
It's got nothing to do with
Who may win or lose, no

But fate is another, another
Story to be told
It brought us together
Through all the dark weather
There's no love more bold

That's why I need you to be near
That's why I need you to be here
That's why I need you to be
Anywhere but far away, my dear
You are the one who makes me whole
I trust with all my body and soul
Darling, I love you
I need you to know

That's why I need you to be near
That's why I need you to be here (yeah)
That why I need you to be
Anywhere but far away, my dear (my dear)
You are the one who makes me whole
I trust with all my body and soul, yeah
Darling, I love you
I need you to know
Oh-whoa-oh-oh

Darling, I love you
I need you to know
Yeah, yeah, yeah
