"The world breaks every one and
afterward many are strong at the broken places"
-- from "A Farewell to Arms" by Ernest Hemingway
The ice is thin enough for walkin'
the rope is worn enough to climb
throat is dry enough for talkin'
world is crumblin', but I know why
world is crumblin', but I know why
Storm is wild enough for sailing
bridge is weak enough to cross
this body frail enough for fighting
I'm home enough to know I'm lost
home enough to know I'm lost
Chorus:
It's just enough to be strong
in the broken places, in the broken places
it's just enough to be strong
should the world rely on faith tonight
Land unfit enough for planting
barren enough to conceive
poor enough to gain the treasure
enough a cynic to believe
enough a cynic to believe
[CHORUS]
Confused enough to know direction
sun eclipsed enough to shine
be still enough to finally tremble
see enough to know I'm blind
see enough to know I'm blind
[CHORUS x 2]
Should the world rely on faith tonight
should the world rely on faith tonight
tonight
tonight
tonight
tonight
tonight
