The Lyrics
I asked You why the road was so unkind
Why every door I knocked on stayed behind
I counted all the nights I couldn't see
Not knowing You were memorizing the way through me
All along You weren't losing me in the dark
You were teaching me the road by heart
So I know the way out
I walked through the night, I found the light
I'll go back in, I'll call their name
Stay close to me, I know the way
What almost buried me became a map
Now I'm the hand reaching back
I know the way out
Every wrong turn I thought had wasted years
Became the very road I'd lead them clear
I know the pit, I've felt its sharpest edge
I know the words to pull them back from the ledge
You didn't waste a single tear I cried
You were building me a light inside
So I know the way out
I walked through the night, I found the light
I'll go back in, I'll call their name
Stay close to me, I know the way
What almost buried me became a map
Now I'm the hand reaching back
I know the way out
Somebody's praying the prayer I used to pray
Send me someone who's been here, who knows the way
Here I am, here I am
What broke me made me who You send
Here I am, here I am
I'll walk them home, I'll be their hand
So I know the way out
The dark I survived is somebody's guide
I'll go back in, I'll call their name
Stay close to me, I know the way
Nothing was wasted, nothing was lost
Love led me out so I'd lead them across
I know the way out
I know the way, I know the way
Stay close to me, I know the way
