And some days are long
they're impossible and large
they loom above
in terrifying scale
daring each of us
to climb into the ring
and knock them down
with courage we don't have

And I can't push back
When my hands are tired
my arms are all tried out
So give me strength
give me grace
and a slightly bigger space
Where you and me can lay our troubles down

There's a light I've seen
In a dirty magazine
that I found in the backseat of my car
and it shines and sings
and like it bell it loudly rings
until the day they lay me in the ground

And I can't push back
When my hands are tied
my arms are all tried out
So give me strength
give me grace
and a slightly bigger space
Where you and me can lay our troubles down

And I can't push back
When my hands are tied
my arms are all tried out
So give me strength
give me grace
and a slightly bigger space
Where you and me can lay our troubles down

Where you and me can lay our troubles down

Where you and me can lay our troubles down
