The Answer In The Song

Verse 1

You sat there on the gravel

Looking at a life that felt completely hollow

Yesterday was just a mountain of worry

Then you looked up at the moon

Pre-Chorus

Barely had the words to find me

Knelt beside the truck where no one sees

Said my name into the quiet wind

Knowing that your heart was spread so thin

Chorus

I was looking for you when the sun went down

Looking for you in that tired town

Last night you whispered while you were shaking

Asking me for any kind of sign

Now I am talking while the day is breaking

Writing mercy on your weary mind

I am writing mercy on your weary mind

Verse 2

I knocked upon your spirit daily

Tossed a dozen warnings right across your path

But you chose the thorny thicket instead

Until your hands began to bleed

Pre-Chorus

Sinking till you reached the river bed

Washed away the pride you used to hold

Called out from the bottom of the pit

Where the heavy shadows finally quit

Chorus

I was looking for you when the sun went down

Looking for you in that tired town

Last night you whispered while you were shaking

Asking me for any kind of sign

Now I am talking while the day is breaking

Writing mercy on your weary mind

I am writing mercy on your weary mind

Bridge

Rock bottom is a solid place to stand

When you finally reach for my open hand

I will mend the pieces you thought were gone

Everything is new at the break of dawn

Yes everything is new at the break of dawn

Chorus

I was looking for you when the sun went down

Looking for you in that tired town

Last night you whispered while you were shaking

Asking me for any kind of sign

Now I am talking while the day is breaking

Writing mercy on your weary mind

I am writing mercy on your weary mind
