Tryin’ hard to see what lays in front of me
My eyes are clouded over because of the tears that keep on fallin
As you tell me, it’s ok to cry for something that is so much a part of you
I know you’re barely holdin’ on for life, but know that I’m holding you in my palm
I know that the waves of life have left you gasping for life
I know that the squalls that seem to sink the ship you’re on seem so big

Remember I am the one who calms my child
The calm before the storm; can be yours during
I can comfort you; but you have to let me in
I can heal you; you have to give me your life
I can see you; even when it’s dark and stormy
I’ll breathe my life into your dying lungs

You don’t have to let me in
You don’t have to let me in
But you can if you want
But you can if you want
You’ve been running; running away from peace
I am longing for you to come back home

Trying to figure out the way is much easier if you have a light
If you will let me, I will be your lifeboat; I can be your light house
I am not gonna force my way upon you; it’s your choice to open up the door
I will be waiting; all you need to do is ask
I am your father; you are my child
I want to tell you stories; I am inviting you to sit on my lap
