You Feel Like

i live down here on my knees
and face where the prayers flow nonstop
and the air is full of grace
sometimes i feel so much like a coward
i could die but then i feel your peace
as you silently remind me that i can always hide inside your arms
there's too much knowledge for one soul to bear
i asked to receive it but now i just feel scared to know of all the hatred
and see the apathy the chosen consequences
it's all too much for me

i'd much rather hide inside your arms
because somehow i feel that i belong
you feel like home i know my place is here
at least for a little while and i'll keep on until you call your faithful child
but any strength that you can lend out to me
so i can send words of hope and life
i sure could use them tonight
