Newsboys- The Orphan Lyrics

Newsboys- The Orphan Lyrics 

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
