Yellow Balloons

about

This song is about wrestling with faith and unanswered prayers.

lyrics

Verse 1
Where are you, my prayers?
You’re out there like yellow balloons
Floating through the thick of air
Where are you, my dears?
You’re out there like yellow balloons
My unanswered cares

Pre-chorus 1
I wonder if the sky could hold all the tales of you
I wonder if the sky knows who you belong to

Chorus:
When all the world seems set to roam
Still here my wonder cries out for the truth
When all the world seems far from home
Still here my prayers fly to God's own bedroom

Verse 2
Where are you? Oh my, oh my
You’re out there, yellow balloons
All my bled out prayers

Pre-chorus 2
Men ask me how far, ask me where you are
When wild waters bleed through my careless eyes
They mock and they taunt me, asking how long
Will I believe God's a friend of mine

Chorus:
When all the world seems set to roam
Still here my wonder cries out for the truth
When all the world seems far from home
Still here my prayers fly to God's own bedroom

End Tag
Oh my balloons, yellow balloons
Oh my balloons, yellow balloons
Oh my balloons, yellow balloons
Oh my balloons, yellow balloons
