In a dream you spoke to me You said loud and clear, “You’ve got to share, got to share it all.” Yet I was weak, and unprepared But I saw you there, saw you Your broken face was healed Still the open space leaves me feeling Bruised and lost along the way Black and blue taught me how to pray And it gave light To the places I refused Rather look away But I will go, I will go And open all my wounds and I’ll let them show, ‘cause I’m not alone I’m not alone These words I’m bleeding Leave me stronger now but I’m still feeling Bruised and lost along the way Black and blue taught me how to pray And it saved me, it saved me We take a chance to feel The pain and then we realize The hurt it takes to heal And the strength for us to deal with The darkest days, we’re not alone In a foreign place we call our home This growing faith led me to find The confidence to speak my mind
