Temptation

written by: Sarah McLachlan

Lyrics

I’m lost sometimes, when I’m alone
And I can’t resist the strain
In my hopes and what I feel
Makes confusion not a change
That isn’t maybe what I want
Or isn’t maybe what I know
It’s only faith, I need to keep
’cause still in my heart I trust that I

See your smiling face that always draws me in
That makes me feel at home, no matter where I’ve been
See your smiling face

The days go by I only see
What I’ve left behind me
Temptation lost not in a dream
But that I need not all I see
In darkest times it all comes down
To what I know is real
It draws me back those silent times
That hold on my heart you’ve got then I

See your smiling face that always draws me in
That makes me feel at home, no matter where I’ve been
See your smiling face

So every time I go away I call upon my strengths from within
In hopes of somewhere far away, you’re maybe thinking the same thing
And once again

See your smiling face that always draws me in
That makes me feel at home, no matter where I’ve been
See your smiling face
