battered and torn
still i can see the light
tattered and worn
but i must kneel to fight
friend of mine
what can't you spare
i know some times
it gets cold in there
when my legs no longer carry
and the warm wind chills my bones
i reach for mother mary
and i shall not walk alone
while we're apart
speak from my heart
break the chains
that hold us down
and we shall be
forever bound
when i'm tired and weary
and a long way from home
i reach for mother mary
and i shall not walk alone
beauty that
we left behind
how shall we
tomorrow find
set aside
our weight in sin
so that we
can live again
when my legs no longer carry
and the warm wind chills my bones
i reach for mother mary
and i shall not walk alone
