WORN Tenth Avenue North

I'm tired I'm wornMy heart is heavyFrom the work it takes to keep on breathingI've made mistakesI've let my hope failMy soul feels crushed by the weight of this worldAnd I know that you can give me restSo I cry out with all that I have left

Let me see redemption winLet me know the struggle endsThat you can mend a heart that's frail and tornI want to know a song can rise from ashes of a broken lifeAnd all that's dead inside can be rebornCause I'm worn

I know I need to lift my eyes upBut I'm too weakLife just won't let upAnd I know that you can give me restSo I cry out with all that I have left

Chorus


My prayers are wearing thinYeah I'm wornEven before the day beginsYeah I'm wornI've lost my will to fightI'm wornSo heaven come and flood my eyes

Let me see redemption winsLet me know the struggle endsThat you can mend a heart that's frail and tornI want to know a song can rise from the ashes of a broken lifeAnd all that's dead inside can be rebornYes, all that's dead inside will be rebornThough I'm wornYeah I'm worn
