Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 land
The dying mother weaving bulrushes
Along the Nile
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Building you a home
Building you a home
Building you a home
We're Building you a home
Selah
[Verse 6]
So 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
[Verse 7]
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
