There is a Place

There's a place on the way to Glory
It's a place where all my burdens have been laid
It's the place where I keep stopping
To make sure that all of them are safe
There's a jar that keeps on cracking
The keeps of all my ugliness within
And it leaks out where it's broken
And drips onto my hair and off my chin

And I know a hard rain's gonna fall
And when it comes, there'll be nothing left of me at all

There's a light shines in my darkness
That make everything seen just as it is
And my eyes just keep on closing
Because that's only way to ignore it
There's a road that leads to Heaven
It's narrow and goes on without a curve
But my feet, they keep on walking
Beneath my knees and kick and twist and turn

And I know a hard rain's gonna fall
And when it comes, there'll be nothing left of me at all

There's a heart inside my ribcage
That breaks with every selfish word I hear
And the most selfish words that I've heard
These days have been coming from right here. (points to mouth)

And I know a hard rain's gonna fall
And when it comes, there'll be nothing left of me at all.
