Weary

There is a fragile systemic chord  

That keeps ringing  

It tells us when it's time  

And it tells us when we have 

Run out of it

I wish there was something  

I could offer that was more than that  

When everything is broken  

And hanging on is just what we do

What leaves us, 

Hanging on some other share or promise? 

I cannot fix this  

We don't live where something else exists  

Walls we speak to

Mountains we ask to move

They will crumble  

It's something our faith allows us to have  

That beyond the alarm  

There's a job to do

Beyond the struggle  

Was the path that split in two  

Before this day we imagined  

We set our course straight  

It lands us at a crossroads  

Where we can see ourselves more clearly  

To put our faith beyond the journey weary
