The Tie That Binds - Sandra McCracken

The sorrow of a friend

From a long way we stand

Grief is second hand

But I’ll send my tears in a locket

Amelia smiles under lights & wires

Thorns for every flower

We number every hour

And live the days we are given

Oh, the pain

It makes you feel alive

Oh, the broken heart is the tie that binds

And I pray to God, these things will be made right

When the morning shines

On tear stained eyes

Oh we shall overcome

The Father gave the Son

To break the curse we are under

Oh the pain that no man can escape

Oh the sting of death, the empty grave

And I pray to God where comfort has no place

When our tired eyes look through the veil

The colors are so pale but we raise high the sail

And call the winds to carry us home

Call the winds to carry us home
