Saw the leaves
in the window changing colors
But troubles
are weighing on my heart
Oh, And a part
of me seems slowly dying
I'm crying
There's a thorn in my side
Can you not see me?
Can you not free me?
Will you not leave me?
Will this cross subside?

I believe
Even though this pain won't go away
I will believe
I believe
Even though this pain
This pain
won't go away, Yeah
The cut is growing deeper
I'm weaker
But I am holding on

If I could see
the road that lays before me,
Would knowing
make me turn away?
Oh, Afraid of things that I might suffer
For another
So I bleed
In hopes that I'll uncover
the love, Oh
The wanting has to cease
Oh the need for me to linger longer
Be stronger
I feel I must concede
I know you see me!
You will not leave me!
Your grace will free me!
I lay it on the line

I believe
Even though this pain won't go away
I will believe
I believe
This hope will tide me over
I'm stronger
in my weakness
Oh, it's sometimes hard to see it
But I am holding on
And on, And on, And on, And on, And on, And on...

I believe
Even though this pain won't go away
I will believe
This hope will tide me over
I'm stronger
In my weakness
Oh, it's sometimes hard to see it
But I am holding on
