Starfield's song "I Need A Father" is a heartfelt worship ballad expressing deep longing for God's fatherly love and presence. The lyrics convey vulnerability, as the singer cries out for comfort, healing, and freedom from fear. The song moves from a plea for someone to hold and know them to a declaration of trust in God as a faithful Father whose love never fails. It captures a personal journey from woundedness to surrender, culminating in the affirmation that God is indeed that Father. The emotional and intimate tone makes it a powerful prayer for those seeking security and divine affection.

Hold me somebody
Don't let me be alone
Love me, stay with me
I am dying to be known
My heart cries out
I need a Father
Whose love will never fail me
A friend like no other
Whose trusted arms will hold me
I need a Father
I am wounded
But I tuck the pain away
Free me, heal me
I don't want to be afraid
My heart cries out
Here's my heart
Be tender, please
Let me know your love for me
Here's my heart
I'm on my knees
I will trust
'Cause I believe
You are my Father
Your love will never fail me
A friend like no other
Your trusted arms will hold me
You are my Father
