Im still a child
You take me in your hand
I struggle and I fight
I push you away
I scream until you gently put me down
I go and I step on your feet
I stomp on the ground as I kick and scream
You look at me with those loving eyes
You never once forget me
I leave you standing there
You watch me walk away
Little do I know you are still watching me
You are still protecting me
I get myself into trouble
I am too ashamed to ask you for help
I can do this my way
I can fix it
Life only grows worse
Things become harder
Because I ran away from my Father
I wasn't ready to leave
Still a child I fall to my knees
Being alone is all I wanted
Being alone is what I recieved
Its not as I imagined
Someone comes
I know it isnt you
He says he knows the answers too
Still being a child I stand up and hold his hand
You weep and mourn for me
I think Im happy and free
Inside I feel so empty
Unloved by this man who seemingly rescued me
Still you hover over me, waiting for a cry, a plea
"Never will He want you back"
These lies are said again and again
I know nothing, for I am still a child
One day I see someone who once was my brother
He is searching after me
He tells me you'll still love me
He says I can once again be happy and free
My heart and soul cry out to you Father
My body cries out against me
The man who I was with so long starts to beat me
Long hard and painful strokes, he whips me with my sin
I scream out my Daddy's name
And you Father, you stand before that whip
You stand before me your child
You save me
Now I am back again
In your hand I wish to stay
Forever your child
Forever in your love I'll stand
You take me in your hand
I struggle and I fight
I push you away
I scream until you gently put me down
I go and I step on your feet
I stomp on the ground as I kick and scream
You look at me with those loving eyes
You never once forget me
I leave you standing there
You watch me walk away
Little do I know you are still watching me
You are still protecting me
I get myself into trouble
I am too ashamed to ask you for help
I can do this my way
I can fix it
Life only grows worse
Things become harder
Because I ran away from my Father
I wasn't ready to leave
Still a child I fall to my knees
Being alone is all I wanted
Being alone is what I recieved
