waking up every morning
feeling the need to prove myself
an empty feeling inside
craving to be filled
loving others to feel loved
accepting others to be accepted
acting differently to stand out
apologizing to be forgiven
being quiet to look peaceful
helping others to feel good
doing my best to make family proud
all this is for me
selfish
trying to fill the emptiness
focussed on myself all day
losing sight of what matters
I am an orphan spirit
searching searching
not yet grasping
that there is someone
who already loves me more than anything
who already accepts me as I am
who already made me special in his image
who already forgives me for everything
who already gives me inner peace
who already made me good and perfect
who is already proud of me
all I have to do is step back
and feel his embrace
he is my father
he is the best
I deserve nothing
instead he gives me everything
his grace calls me son
I have an inheritance
I no longer stand an orphan
I am a prince
