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



Hope is alive

while we're apart

only tears

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
