THESE THINGS HAPPEN AS WE WALK THRU LIFE
SOME TO MAKE US STRONG & SOME TO STRIFE
AT TIMES A SONG OR SILENCE IN THE NITE
WHATEVER THE CAUSE I CRAWL TO THE LIGHT
THERE IS GOOD THAT MUST BE DONE
EVEN THO HELL’S TORCH IS BURNING HIGH
HEARTS THAT ARE BROKEN
WHERE A SOLITARY SOUL CRIES
IT SEEMS LIKE NO ONE SEE’S OR CARES
THE ROAD SEEMS HARDER GREAT BURDENS TO BEAR
WHEN SUDDENLY AGAIN A POISONED ARROW FLIES
ANOTHER NAIL DRIVEN YOUR FLESH TO DECRY
HEART HELD IN MY RUGGED HANDS LIKE A CUP
KNEES BENT LORD WHEN WILL IT BE ENOUGH
LIKE MIGHTY WAVES AS THE OCEAN’S ROAR
THESE PAINS LIKE MOUNTAINS RISE & SOAR
SO WHAT IF THESE TEARS SWELL & FALL
YOU HAVE A GOLD KEY TO STAND STRONG & TALL
YOU THINK I’M SO BROKEN FOR SO IT SEEMS
CRUSH YOU WILL NEVER, ONLY PURIFY ME
BROKEN MAY BE, WILL NEVER BE CRUSHED
TRY ALL YOU WANT IT WILL TURN TO DUST
HAMMER & NAILS, I WILL NOT FALL TO BITS
I’M A CHILD OF PROMISE DESTINY TO FULFILL
