We stay in prayer

Knowing God will be there

We travel far

As we heal every scar

We search for a place

To run our race

We long for purpose

Before it rises to the surface

We look into our hearts

To see where love starts

We long for affection

As well as protection

We try to find the key

To what’s meant to be

We search for peace

Our hearts won’t release

We try to stand

As we hold God’s hand

We see the journey ahead

Then rid ourselves of dread

In many ways

We long for better days

We listen to God’s encouraging word

Cause it’s all we’ve heard

We take one step at a time

While still in our prime

Sometimes we get lost

Not knowing at what cost

We face every storm

We defy every norm

We fall to our knees

Wondering who to please

Before faith takes hold

And our story is told

We stay on the same road

As God carries the heavy load

We endure a lot of pain

As well as stress and strain

In many ways

We long for better days
