Lyrics
I've been tired and weary
Heading back home
Never thought it'd be so hard
Walking the narrow road
Through all the toils and trials
Lord, you never left me
So I'm finally closer, closer
Where I wanna be
A man's gotta work
But the problem has been
I spen my whole life working
Instead of taking your hand
Lord, won't you burn away
All that keeps you from me?
I want you here closer, closer
Than anything
CHORUS:
So take me to the center of the fire
Take me to the middle of the sea
Take me through the darkest of nights
You can be the lamp to my feet
Walk me over mountains and valleys
Till I'm only hanging by a prayer
If it brings me closer, closer
You can take me anywhere
VERSE 2:
What I know about fire
You use it to refine my heart
What I know about the ocean
When you tell it to part, it parts
Even though the darkest of nights
It draws me to my knees
And it brings me closer, closer
When I hear you speak
(CHORUS x 1)
BRIDGE:
There once lived a man
Who loved his enemies
The whole world mocked and laughed
'Cause of what they couldn't see
He was closeness
The truth that sets us free
He said the poor shall be blessed
And that's what I wanna be
(CHORUS x 1)
Blessed are the broken
Blessed are the weak
Blessed are the hungry and thirsty
Blessed are those that seek
Blessed are the lonely
For they will have love to spare
Blessed are the poor in spirit
Your kingdom is there
If it brings me closer, closer
Take me anywhere
