The Chosen Ones

I'd think of all those people with their love and understanding

How they wear it like they had it from the start

I must have been the other kind...

the kind with just a lonely mind and heart

And from where you stand you're an attractive revelation

And from where I stand I'm mostly on my knees

And from there I said hello, felt something small and slow

Say "Please, please, please"

And though it's just a thought, It's such a saving shot...

For every person there's a rhyme and a reason

To decide to be the chosen one to stand among the broken ones.

I remember crying down a long and withered highway

I remember waiting for my story to begin.

Had all my laughs cut short, a boat without a port

A ragged house of tin.

But ... maybe it's true about the teacher when you're ready

Maybe it's true about the hollow and the slope

Love, turn my steps around

Let me fall on solid ground with Faith and rope.

And though its just a thought, I say it's all I've got...

For every person there's a rhyme and a reason

To decide to be the chosen one to stand among

the broken ones.

Outside a window there's a night beyond all secrets

And outside that window there's a window shining in

And it shows a room that has a fire steady burning

And a woman knowing that the darkness can't come in

And she wants to thank you for your love and understanding

She needs to thank you for your honour to the soul

It's love from someone who believed she'd need a stand in

To tell her story let alone to live it whole

And though it's just a thought, she says it's all we've got

For every person there's a rhyme and a reason

To decide to be the chosen one to stand among

the broken ones.

stand among the broken ones,

stand among the broken ones...

For every person

May love come through

For every person

May love come through
