Justin McRoberts Album: Grace Must Wound Track: When They Bring You Down
When They Bring You Down Lyrics
I was there while you lured the young and the beautiful I was there as you striped them of all their worth I was there when they paid you for tearing their souls apart And then paid you to heal the hurt
I was there when you troubled the hearts of the helpless ones I was there when you told them they'd never heal I was there when they gave up their dreams for your nothingness And then opened the door to the lives you'd steal
So I'm going to be there when the bring you down
When you told the well fed that they still didn't have enough And the strong to keep far from the helpless weak When you drowned their compassion with the gifts their hearts most desired
I was there when you whispered those words in my father's ear I was there the morning he didn't wake But you have made me stronger, digging graves for the ones I love So I'm going to be there when it's you they break
