I came into this world a silent boy
They loosened my neck and I let out that cry
Do you think we scream because we feel the pain
As we leave the mother’s safety into a world of shame
Do we know a world of hurt before we know our own name
As we grow so does out need
We hear the world whisper and it plants its seeds
What are you chasing after are you chasing something
Or are you running away by numbing feelings
Good God no one ever said that this would be easy
Naked we come naked we leave
What did we change was there fruit on the tree
Screaming we come in silence we leave
Whose hearts did we reach did we meet such a need
Our hands have worked so so hard
But nut naked we come, the same we’ll depart
O my good Lord how you have fashioned my days
Written in a book before the world was made
I will always hope that I have made You proud
To be a little light in a great big crowd
Take hold of what you gave me and I’ll sing it real loud
