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
You’ve got your reasons for never looking back
Cause your heartbeats are numbered in the shadow that 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 listened closer would it all turn out the same
Would the answers have saved mе from the misery of this place

Hеre we are
Are you ready
To turn our second guesses into second chances
Are you ready now
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 is a martyr and tomorrow is a saint
May our eyes be ever wider for the breadcrumbs of grace

Here we are
Are you ready
To turn our second guesses into second chances
Are you ready now
Lift these heavy hearts up off the ground
Are you ready
We have more to offer than the failures of our fathers
Are you ready now
Lift these heavy hearts up off the ground

One day
This pain
Will not define us
Hope will remind us

The dawn will come
We’re not forgotten
It won’t be long
So 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 the failures of our fathers
Are you ready now
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 be long)
(So here we are)
