This is a Call lyrics
This is a Call

She fooled all of her friends into thinking she’s so strong
But she still sleeps with the light on
And she acts like it’s all right on, as she smiles again
And her mother lies there sick with cancer
And her friends don’t understand her
She’s a question without answers
Who feels like falling apart.
She knows, she’s so much more than worthless
She needs to find a purpose,
She wonders what she did to deserve this CHORUS
She’s calling out to you
This is a call, this is a call out
Cause everytime I fall down, I reach out to you
And I’m losing all control now
And my hazard signs are all out
I’m asking you to show me what this life is all about
And he tells everyone a story,
Cause he thinks his life is boring
And he fights so you won’t ignore him,
Cause that’s his biggest fear
And he cries, but you’ll rarely see him do it
And he loves but he’s scared to use it
So he hides behind the music
Cause he likes it that way
And he knows, he’s so much more than worthless
He needs to find the surface
Cause he’s starting to get nervous
CHORUS
Have you ever felt this way before
Cause I don’t wanna hide here anymore
Take me to a place where nothing’s wrong
And thanks for coming, shut the door
And they say some one out there sees us,
Well if you’re real, then save me Jesus
Cause I’ve been this way for far too long
I wasn’t meant to feel alone
CHORUS
Show me what this life is all about
Show me what this life is all about
I remember listening to this song non-stop back in September of 2003. I had just had a minor surgery and then had a shingles outbreak around my incision. The pain was intense and so was the loneliness.
“And her friends don’t understand her
She’s a question without answers
Who feels like falling apart”
Those three lines of the song seemed to define me at that point in my life and spiritual journey. I felt like no one understood me and I grew bitter because of it. Emotionally, I was crumbling and literally falling apart. I’ve never cried so much in a span of one week in my life. I just kept crying out to Jesus telling him that “This is a Call.” I told Him that have lost it emotionally, mentally, and physically. My hazard signs are out. I need you Jesus.
