The Orphan

This song weaves together images of displacement and divine care, drawing on the story of Moses' mother placing him in a basket on the Nile. The narrator confesses a restless spirit—pushing when meant to be still, feeling like a wanderer passing through temporary homes. Yet the chorus reframes that orphan's cry as something carried by God's tailwind, met with a reassuring lullaby. The bridge shifts to a communal promise: "Building you a home," suggesting that God and His people are actively creating a place of belonging for the abandoned. The lyrics also evoke Abraham's field and a dream of counting stars, connecting personal wandering to the broader biblical narrative of faith and promise. Ultimately, the song moves from anxiety to trust, affirming that even in barren places, we are not forgotten—a lullaby of hope is sung over us.
