i live down here on my knees

and face where the prayers flow nonstop

and the air is full of grace

sometimes i feel so much like a coward

i could die but then i feel your peace

as you silently remind me that i can always hide inside your arms

there's too much knowledge for one soul to bear

i asked to receive it but now i just feel scared to know of all the hatred

and see the apathy the chosen consequences

it's all too much for me

i'd much rather hide inside your arms

because somehow i feel that i belong

you feel like home i know my place is here

at least for a little while and i'll keep on until you call your faithful child

but any strength that you can lend out to me

so i can send words of hope and life

i sure could use them tonight
