Nathan Landis Funk - Come Here Child lyrics

Been walking down that same old road again
Knocking on every door but they still won’t open
I had so many plans, I thought the world was in my hands
But for all I’ve tried, I’m still stuck outside

The clock is ticking and it echoes in my soul
Wind blows the leaves, evenings getting colder
I see a little smile, a door is open for a little while
But it’s not a home, and then I’m back to roaming

I retrace the pathways of my past days
I wonder if they’ve added up to nothing
But then I still my mind
At the fading of the daylight
And I see you smile and hear you sing

Come here child
Lay your head down
You don’t have to have it figured out right now
Stay near child
Put those cares away
They can always wait for another day
Sometimes you just need to say
You’ll be okay
You will be okay

I hate the way that time can rob you blind
You blink an eye and and five more days slip by
While I’m surrounded by these ghosts of my dreams so close to me
But I know my destiny can’t save me

So when the chill sets in
And I’m praying for the spring
You come to me and sing

Take joy in the journey
Don’t you worry about tomorrow
Everything you need is here right now
So breathe in
And be grateful for today
You’ll be okay
You will be okay

Come here child (Take joy in the journey)
Lay your head down (Don’t you worry about tomorrow)
You don’t have to have it figured out right now (Everything I need is here right now, right here)
Stay near child (Breathe in)
Put those cares away (And be grateful for today)
They can always wait for another day (I know I’m gonna find my way)
Sometimes you just need to say
Sometimes you just need to say
Sometimes you just need to say
You’ll be okay
I’ll be okay
You will be okay
