Child

Innocent… lying in the field No one there to hold or heal No mother’s arms, no father’s name Born into a silent pain Do you see the light above Or just shadows where you were Sunlight falling on your face But you’re lost without a place Will you break Or will you bend Will the silence ever end You are more than what you feel More than what they made you be You’re a spark they couldn’t steal You’re still free Lift your head Don’t look down You don’t have to wear that crown You’re a light in all this dark You’re a child … of God They don’t know the road you walk Every scar, every thought Every night you felt alone Every place you called “not home” But I see it in your eyes There’s a fire you can’t hide Even in the coldest night There’s a chance you still can rise Take my hand Don’t be afraid You don’t have to fade away You are more than what you feel More than what they made you be You’re a spark they couldn’t steal You’re still free Lift your head Don’t look down You don’t have to wear that crown You’re a light in all this dark You’re a child… of God One day at a time… That’s all you need You don’t have to run Just learn to breathe You are more than what you feel More than what they made you be You’re a spark they couldn’t steal You’re still free Laugh again Feel the sun Your life’s only just begun Through the pain, through the scars You’re still light… in the dark
