A Song for the Weary

You wake up as a prisoner at the mercy of the dark
You force your eyes to focus to remember who you are
And you've got your reasons for never looking back
'Cause your heart beats a number in the shadow it casts
If I'm being honest, I don't hear what God says
Maybe His voice is quieter than the questions in my head
But if I listen closer, would it all turn out the same?
Would the answers still save me from the misery of this place?
Here way are
(Are you ready)
To turn our second guesses into second chances?
(Are you ready?)
Lift these heavy hearts up off the ground
In the wake of our disaster
May we gather what is left
May the morning be our compass, Be the courage for what's next
If history's a martyr and tomorrow is a saint
May our eyes be even wider for the breadcrumbs of grace
Here we are
(Are you ready)
To turn our second guesses into second chances?
(Are you ready?)
Lift these heavy hearts up off the ground
(Are you ready?)
Don't we have more to offer than failures of our fathers?
(Are you ready?)
Lift these heavy hearts up off the ground
One day
This pain
Will not define us
Hope will remind us
The dawn (will come)
Will come (will come)
We're not forgotten
It won't belong to
Here we are
To turn our second guesses into second chances?
Lift these heavy hearts up off the ground
(Are you ready?)
We have more to offer than failures of our fathers
(Are you ready?)
Lift these heavy hearts up off the ground
This pain
Will not define us
Hope will remind us
The dawn
Will come
We're not forgotten
It won't belong to
Here we are
