I just want a family
I just want a home
A place to lay my weary heart
When all the work is done
I know there's strength in numbers
A face inside the crowd
But I get claustrophobic
And my voice is not that loud
It's nice to be with people
Who think and act like me
But what if we're all wrong,
Who's there to disagree?
I'm asking for an answer
Cause I really want to know
Without intimacy and conflict
How are we going to grow?
But even more than all of that
The thing that sticks with me
Is that Jesus called us family
Just branches on one tree
So why do we separate ourselves
From the only thing we need?
Cutting off the life flow
Thinking that we're free
So busy trying to prove
That we're the better sheep.
I'm done with all the arguments
I guess I have to wait
And pray that we find unity
Before it's just too late
Before my weary heart stops beating
Before I'm at the gate.
