When I am weary,
When I am numb,
When my eyes are stained red from the tears,
That no longer come;
When I feel troubled,
Lie awake in my bed;
When my flaws and my fears take control,
Take hold in my head;
There is a place,
A peace that I find;
My heart beats so easy and the worry
Escapes from my mind
Now this ain't no church,
Or of godly design;
But that sweet sound sure as hell feels like,
A touch of the devine;
I don't shout at the heavens,
To make myself heard,
If no one is listenin',
I'll write my own word;
And this word don't give a damn,
If you're sinner or saint,
Righteous or wicked,
Heathen or saved,
A pretty young thing,
Or a man,
With one foot in the grave;
When I'm frustrated,
When my thoughts scream;
When I'm scared, sad, and alone - more often
Than it might seem;
When I am burdened,
With questions of worth;
When I question my worth to the world,
When I need a rebirth;
There is a place,
A peace that I find,
Safe from all the doubts that plague me,
In heart and in mind;
Now this ain't no church,
Or of godly design;
But that sweet sound sure as hell feels like,
A touch of the devine;
I don't shout at the heavens,
To make myself heard,
If no one is listenin',
I'll write my own word;
And this word don't give a damn,
If you're sinner or saint,
Righteous or wicked,
Heathen or saved,
A pretty young thing,
Or a man,
With one foot in the grave;
With one foot in the grave.
