We tend to chase away the pain
Run away from where it came
Disappear, yet once again
It comes back to us, all the same

We fight the battle to win the war
The one we never asked for
Waging against a mighty plight
Raging into the depths of night

We struggle to find the safest place
To rest from this weary human race
And gather our souls for better’s worth
Yet find an absence here on Earth

Within ourselves, within our heart
We reach inside and find the part
Missing deep within our soul
A simple piece to make us whole

He’s been with us through all our sorrow
He’ll be with us, again, tomorrow
A grace not found upon this earth
The son of God, our spiritual rebirth
