The Orphan

The Orphan - Newsboys

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

Foat her basket over the sea

Here on a barren shore

We'll be waiting for

A tailwind to carry her 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

Float her basket over the sea

Here on a barren shore

We'll be waiting for

A tailwind to carry her orphan's cry

Don't you worry child

I wrote a lullaby

Building you a home

Building you a home

Building you a home

We're building you a home

Selah

Float her basket over the sea

Here on a barren shore

We'll be waiting for

A tailwind to carry her orphan's cry

Don't you worry child

I wrote a lullaby

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
