Mother

When we’re defeated
When we are beaten
When we deceive ourselves
When darkness overwhelms us
When we are failing
When we’re derailing, gone astray
When we’re small-minded and
When we are blinded
Lead the way

Mother of broken things
Gather us under wings of the words
We never heard but always knew
Written on hidden pages
Save us
Tell another story
Tell another story

When we are stranded
Left empty-handed
Give us hope
When we have gone the length
When we’ve run out of strength to cope
When we are taunted
When we’re unwanted, out of place
We long for your embrace
Your mercy and your grace

Mother of broken things
Gather us under wings of the words
We never heard but always knew
Written on hidden pages
Save us
