David Hodges - A Song for the Weary Lyrics

Lyrics A Song for the Weary - David Hodges



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 me
From the misery of this place
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
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
