The orphan · letra

Maybe I push when I'm meant to be still Maybe I take it all to personal Jesus, how to reconcile The joyful noise The ancient land The tug from some invisible hand The dying mother weaving bulrushes Along the Nile

Chorus:

Float her basket over the sea Here on a barren shore We'll be waiting for A tailwind to carry her (an) orphan's cry Don't you worry, child I wrote a lullaby
I try to settle, but I just pass through A rain dog, gypsy A wandering Jew All those homes were not ours Then I slept one night In Abraham's field And dreamt there was no moon The night he died Counting stars Selah

Chorus

Bridge:

Building you a home Building you a home Building you a home We're building you a home Selah

Chorus

Float her basket over the sea Here on a barren shore We'll be waiting for A tailwind to bring us your sweet cry Don't you worry, child I'm gonna sing you a lullaby
