Album: Stumble Into Grace
[Intro]
CHmm Ehmm Fhmm Chmm, hmm Ehmm Fhmm Chmm
I was Conce some mother's Edarlin', some Fdaddy's little Cgirl
More precious than the Eruby, more Fcherished than the Cpearl
My Eheart was full of Cmercy and my Eforehead full of Ccurl
DmNow I am Fnothing and am lost unto this world
[Chorus]
I am Clost unto this Eworld, I am Flost unto this Cworld
I am lost unto this Eworld, I am Flost unto this Cworld
They Cherded me like Ecattle, Fcut me down like Ccorn
Took me from my Ebabies be- Ffore they could be Cborn
You can Eblame it on the Cfamine, you can Eblame it on the Cwar
You can Dmblame it on the Fdevil, it don't matter anymore
[Chorus]
I am Clost unto this Eworld, I am Flost unto this Cworld
I am lost unto this Eworld, I am Flost unto this Cworld
I was Ctortured in the Edesert, I was Fraped out on the Cpain
I was murdered by the Ehigh way and my Fcries went up in Cvain
My Eblood is on the Cmountain, my Eblood is on the Csand
My Dmblood runs in the Friver that now washes thru their hands
[Repeat Chorus]
I am Clost unto this Eworld, I am Flost unto this Cworld
I am lost unto this Eworld, I am Flost unto this Cworld
Oh, Fcan I get no witness this un- Choly tale to Etell
Was God the Dmonly one there Fwatching and weeping as l fell
CHmm Ehmm Fhmm Chmm, hmm Ehmm Fhmm Chmm
Oh, Cyou among the Eliving, will you re- Fmember me at Call
Will you write my Ename out with a Fsingle finger Cscrawl
A- Ecross a broken Cwindow in some Elong forgotten Cwall
That goes Dmstretching out for- Fever where the Fb9tears of heaven fall
