Outstretched Hands - Starfield

Could I talk to you?

Are you listening?

Would you let me ask the questions that burn inside me?

I am reaching out, I am holding on

Feel like one of Your affections, but not quite like I belong

I am numb today, everything’s a blur

I’ve seen too much to deny, too little to be sure

Like a prodigal, like a distant son, I can see You from a distance

But I’m too ashamed to come

Will You see me through this valley?

Will You hold my outstretched hands?

As the world caves in around me

Will You help me understand?

Help me understand, help me understand

I am scared to fall

Scared to carry on

Am I losing to the cynic after running for so long?

There’s a child in me, lost in mystery

But its buried underneath the earth, longing to be free
