I look around and see my wonderful life Almost perfect from the outside In picture frames I see my beautiful wife Always smiling But on the inside, I can hear her saying "Lead me with strong hands Stand up when I can't Don't leave me hungry for love Chasing dreams, what about us? Show me you're willing to fight That I'm still the love of your life I know we call this our home But I still feel alone." I see their faces, look in their innocent eyes They're just children from the outside I'm working hard, I tell myself they'll be fine They're independent But on the inside, I can hear them saying "Lead me with strong hands Stand up when I can't Don't leave me hungry for love Chasing dreams, what about us? Show me you're willing to fight That I'm still the love of your life I know we call this our home But I still feel alone." So Father, give me the strength To be everything I am called to be Oh, Father, show me the way To lead them Won't you lead me? To lead them with strong hands To stand up when they can't Don't want to leave them hungry for love Chasing dreams that I could give up I'll show them I'm willing to fight And give them the best of my life So we can call this out home Lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone Father, lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone
