lyrics

V1
I was defeated, I was angry
I was mad at my creator
I was feeling cheated, I needed saving
Was there no grace? no right or wrong? no dictator?

Pre-Chorus
Was I just a soul in this world?
there are far too many
how can you know and love us all?
Was I just some girl you forgot to remember
when I needed you most?
Do I have any control in this world?
When the wind blows steady
tries a thousand times to make me fall
the more I search the more I realize
I know nothing at all

Chorus
See I read somewhere
that the worth of souls
is great in the sight of God
and I read somewhere
I'd find answers if I seek
So I knelt right there in that empty room
and I cried with all my heart
Lord, I'm struggling
Lord, I'm struggling
Is anyone out there?
Is anyone out there?

V2
I retreated, Lord I'm sorry
yes, I do see all the blessings you've given me
But I am pleading, I am mourning
Can you help me understand why this is happening?

PreCh
Yes I'm just one soul in this world
there are far too many
How can you know and love us all?
I feel I'm just some girl you forgot to remember
when I needed you most
Do I have any control in this world?
when the wind blows steady
tries a thousand times to make me fall
The more I search
the more I realize I know nothing at all

CH
See I read somewhere
that the worth of souls is great in the sight of God
and I read somewhere I'd find answers if I seek
So I knelt right there in that empty room
and I prayed with all my heart
Lord I'm struggling
Oh, please help me
Is anyone out there?
Is anyone out there?

Bridge
and I know you heard me
when I was crying out your name
and I know you saw me
in my hardest moment
felt my pain
and even though I doubted
you still loved me just the same

Yes I'm just one soul in this world
and there are so many
somehow you know and love us all
guide us through our darkest days
answer us when we call
no we don't have much control in this world
when the wind blows steady
seems there's nothing there to break our fall
the more I search the more I realize I know nothing at all
but I do know you're out there
I do know you're out there

Outro
See I read somewhere
that you'd never leave me alone or comfortless
and I read somewhere when we're lost
you'll find your sheep
so I thank you for all these words inside
the holy books you left
and I thank you for all these promises you keep

yeah I know that you're out there
I know that you're right here
