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 [bad word] 
 Along the Nile

 Float her basket over the sea
 Here on a barren shore
 We'll be waiting for
 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
 rain dog, a gypsy
 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

 Float her basket over the sea
 Here on a barren shore
 We'll be waiting for
 tailwind to carry an 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

 So float her basket over the sea
 Here on a barren shore
 We'll be waiting for
 tailwind to carry an 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
 tailwind to bring us your sweet cry
 Don't you worry child
 I gonna sing you a lullaby
