Broken
God, I don't know if I can
take this anymore.
I'm trying, God, I really am,
it is you that I live for.
But I'm drowning in a sea of faces,
and names I'll never know.
I hate it here!
How can I call this place my home?
The kids at school,
they don't understand me.
They can't even see you, God.
But around them, I feel so inferior.
Am I the one who is truly odd?
God, just get me through today,
that's all I ask for now.
But in the long run,
I ask for peace.
Can you grant me peace somehow?
And God, please help them see you,
the same way that I do.
Help them know that in this changing world,
your love is always true.
This things that I pray for them,
I also pray for me.
God, please help me steady myself,
with roots deep like a tree.
Wrap me in your love again,
and let my soul dance with you.
Only you can fix me now,
and make my broken heart brand new.
