lyrics

We’ve all found an isolated home to hide
And yet we search for strangers in which to confide
Vulnerable, left to our own devices that we can’t contain
Zoning out, our tiny vices hardly numb us day to day

It’s a familiar alone
For we all feel it
A burden too profound
For our hearts to take
It’s a familiar alone
But far from hopeless
Our sufferings can compose
Such a glorious weight

Celebrity posts have become our weary guide
As we seek truth through whatever means we deem right
Forgive us, Lord, for we have much to learn and more to learn away
May we gather around like beggars desperate for our daily bread today

Straining eyes for heaven’s light to cut through the haze
The revelation you have waited for for all your days
To reach out for the divine and be surprised by grace
The God of the universe has been calling out to you by name

It’s a familiar alone
For we’ve all felt it
A burden too profound
For our hearts to take
But we are never alone
Cry out for comfort
The everlasting arms
Of our God await
