West Texas Wind

It's dark, and it's quiet in my house tonight
 Babies are all gone to sleep
 It's hard to imagine a better life
 Than the one I get to lead
 I had a glass of wine, but my mind is clear
 These walls, they talk to me
 Don't blink an eye, you're a young man now
 But you won't always be
 My blood and my bones, my heart and my hands
 They try to hold all of this in
 But I'm running to You like West Texas wind
 Singing, God, I need You, oh, how I need You
 God, I need You again
 I've learned to hide my fear in my bones
 My body don't shake like the kids
 But I'm easily scared and often confused
 I rarely know what I did
 I've made mistakes and even worse than that
 I've hurt the ones that I love
 I wish that peace could find me here
 But it seldom ever does
 My blood and my bones, my heart and my hands
 They try to hold all of this in
 So, I'm running to You like a West Texas wind
 Singing, God, I need You, oh, how I need You
 God, I need You again
 I'm in the shadows of Heaven and earth
 Maybe they should be the same
 My earthly body is bound and conflicted
 And I'm left feeling the pain
 This house is not our only home
 You can't protect love with stone
 God, I know You can hear me, so, please, come near me
 I'm ready to let the world go
 My blood and my bones, my heart and my hands
 They try to hold all of this in
 So I'm running to you like a West Texas wind
 Singing God, I need You, oh, how I need You
 God, I need You again
