lyrics

my palms coated in dust
you painted me a danger
there’s reasons for mistrust
when a son becomes a stranger

condemned before my family
at least the ones who understood
you said that only god could save me
but sometimes you doubt he would

but i can sleep and the simplest thing tells me that i’m still worth breathing

you are a shield about me a hand to lift my eyes
i cry out to the skies and know that you are worth confiding
in the deepest of my hearts
you’ve sustained me from the start

and i heard a voice saying “I will answer” from zion
while every voice inside said that there’s no way
that all the earth will see your glorious salvation through the lion
so I press on to see the things you spoke to me, a king for every nation

you are a shield about me
a hand to lift my eyes
i cry out to the skies and know that
you are worth confiding
in the deepest of my hearts
you’ve sustained me from the start
