lyrics

The sun is going down again, going down on my dreams of yesterday
In every thought I think of him, Wondering if he’s the reason I’m the way I am
In every boy there is a man, Waiting for his father to call his name
The father gone the man is lost, The boy can’t figure out how to end this foolish game
All the damage unrepaired, Leaves me broken leaves me scared
All my sins are not as clear, As the way I chase my fear

I run across the burning sand, What does it mean to be a man
Light on me just like a dove; Teach me oh my Father of Love

Take my hand and lead me back, Through the forest of wisdom; the sea of knowledge
Give me everything I lack, Help me trust You for the things I missed
When I’m lost come to me there, Don’t leave me hurt don’t leave me scared
I’m fatherless, I look to You, Build inside me something precious, something new

Give Me your eyes, Give Me your heart, I’ll lead you out; Trust Me
When you’re lost I’ll meet you there, I won’t leave you hurt won’t leave you scared
O fatherless please look to Me, I’ll build inside of you something meant to be

Run across the burning sand, I’ll show you what it means to be a man
I’ll send My Spirit from above, Look to Me I’m your Father of Love
Look to Me I’m your Father of Love, Trust Me I’m your Father of Love
