Maybe I push when I meant to be still

Maybe I take it all too 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

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

 I try to settle, but I just pass through

 A rain dog, a gypsy, a wandering Jew

 All those homes where not ours

 Then I slept one night in Abraham's field

 And dreamt there was no moon the night he died

 Counting stars, Selah

Chorus to Bridge: G

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
