Battered and torn   still I can see the light   Tattered and worn   but I must kneel to fight      Friend of mine   what can't you spare   I know some times   it gets cold in there      When my legs no longer carry   and the warm wind chills my bones   I reach for Mother Mary   and I shall not walk alone      Hope is alive   while we're apart   only tears   speak from my heart   break the chains   that hold us down   and we shall be   forever bound      When I'm tired and weary   and a long way from home   I reach for Mother Mary   and I shall not walk alone      Beauty that   we left behind   how shall we   tomorrow find      Set aside   our weight in sin   so that we   can live again      When my legs no longer carry   and the warm wind chills my bones   I reach for Mother Mary   and I shall not walk alone
