Orphan Child - Luke Larson

In the Summer of 2010 my parents adopted an orphaned Ethiopian girl - Tes-
It has been an eye opening and life changing experience for me.

Lyrics:
small and alone
a broken heart and broken home
defiant and brave
hands that pray for the hands that can save

just like a mother's arms
mercy and grace
heavens extension
of the light in your eyes and the tears on your face

so outstretch your loving arms
to transcend these races and battlefields

broken by design we have only this life
to live like knights in white
to feed the hungry hands and ignite the searching eyes
you say that love is dead and faith is just denial
I say disconnect from the machine and take the hand of the orphan child

Into the father's arms
mercy and grace
heaven's extension
of the light in your eyes and the tears on your face

so outstretch your loving arms
to transcend these races and battlefields

take the world by the hand
we are the loving arms

you've seen too much for such young eyes
you're so scared so scarred and its alright

These are the father's arms
mercy and grace
heaven's extension
of the light in your eyes and the tears on your face

so outstretch your loving arms
to transcend these races and battlefields
we are the loving arms
