Heavenly Father

(album: Growing Up, Pt.1 - 2021)

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Heavenly Father
Ooh, ooh, ooh
He-heavenly Father, hey
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Heavenly Father
Ooh, ooh, ooh
He-heavenly Father

This is not the way I thought I would grow
Stuck inside a mood from two weeks ago
People acting colder than winter
Got me feeling jaded, thinner
Try to block it out but it's in my brain
And now I get anxious when I pray
Technically I'm older and bigger
But I feel too young to be this bitter
I been cynical about the way the world works
Taking it to heart now I'm tired and my soul hurts
I wanna talk to God but I can't find the words
And if I find 'em I get scared that they might not be heard
My mind is so confusing and the days are getting dark
So tell me that You're moving
Show me Heaven in the stars
God Your ways are higher than my highs and my lows
Elevate my thoughts to those better than my own

Heavenly Father won't You show me where You are
'Cause I feel too close to this
Heavenly Father won't You hold me in Your arms
'Cause I'm in the thick of it

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Heavenly Father
Ooh, ooh, ooh
He-heavenly Father, hey

I'm close to the issue
Like marrow and tissue
So scared of falling down that solid ground looks see-through
What if all these feelings get the best of me?
Trap me deep inside my mind and throw away the rest of me
Please God, I don't wanna lose a piece of me but there's no peace
I been living through the lens of levels of critiques
But God You made the world with Your own breath
I know that You can calm the storm in my own head

Heavenly Father won't You show me where You are
'Cause I feel too close to this
Heavenly Father won't You hold me in Your arms
'Cause I'm in the thick of it

You draw me out of
My situation
And remind me of the
Celebration
You let me catch my breath
True to the words You said
You draw me out of
My situation
And remind me of the
The celebration
You let me catch my breath
True to the words You said

Heavenly Father won't You show me where You are
'Cause I feel too close to this
Heavenly Father won't You show me where You are
'Cause I feel too close to this
Heavenly Father won't You hold me in Your arms
'Cause I'm in the thick of it

Heavenly Father (Heavenly Father)
Heavenly Father (Heavenly Father)
Heavenly Father (Yeah)
Heavenly Father
He -heavenly Father
