I wanna rest
My weary bones on your providence
I wanna find somewhere that I can
Recover my innocence
I wanna rest
My weary bones in the house I grew up in
I wanna find somewhere that I can
Recover my innocence

She knows that this life
Is nothing but a crack in the ground
She's got a decorated army in her heart
She never wants to let them down
She came to Jesus in a flood
It was 1953
Sometimes her spirit rides the night
And when I'm down, I feel her praying over me

I wanna rest
My weary bones on your providence
I wanna find somewhere that I can
Recover my innocence
I wanna rest
My weary bones in the house I grew up in
I wanna find somewhere that I can
Recover my innocence

Oh, I've seen the way
Her kindness always calms the crowd
She's got a sturdy way of living
There's no strangers when she's around
One day she won't be there
And the world will sense the air is thick
Yeah, she'll be riding on the night
While everyone that knew her life
Lives by the light of it

I wanna rest
My weary bones on your providence
I wanna find somewhere that I can
Recover my innocence
I wanna rest
My weary bones in the house I grew up in
I wanna find somewhere that I can
Recover my innocence

She knows that this life
Is nothing but a crack in the ground
She's got a decorated army in her heart
She's never gonna let them down
