Lyrics
WOUNDED HEARTS
Lyrics by Peter Merz
Music by Stuart Todd
Lost in the shadows
She looks for a reason to go on
She crosses the street
And she tries her best to limp along
Life's cut her so deep
And she cries, "Why can't the past just die?"
A life on the run
Has led her to a slippery slide
CLIMB
A man's spirit sustains him in sickness
But a wounded heart who can bear?
CHORUS
Wounded hearts - beating in the night
Lost in a world full of pain and hate
Wounded hearts - bleeding in the night
Ready to give in, captitulate
"Who will go for Us, tell me Lord, who can we send
To bring the wounded hearts back to God again?"
On a moonless night
A desperate man tries to end it all
On a lonely ledge
Don't look down, it's a long way to fall
Trembling and shaking
He shakes a clenched fist at the sky
And shouts, "Why should I live?"
In the stillness there's no reply
REPEAT CLIMB
REPEAT CHORUS
POSTLUDE
They feel trapped, they need release
Lord, here am I, send me
Use me to bring them relief
And set them free
They feel trapped, they need release
Lord, here am I, send me
Use me to bring them relief
And set them free
"Who will go for Us, who can we send
To bring the wounded hearts back to God again?"
Lord here am I, send me
Lord here am I, send me...
