Song Description

Hope for a battered and hurt woman

Lyrics

Verse 1
Carol sits
And sips alone from the lips of hurt
Her long gray hair
Streaks of black remind her of her past
A drunken man
That used his hands to take the only love she knew
Vanishing
The image of the perfect family

Prechorus 1
I will run, so she said, wiped the tears of pain so often shed
I will run, so she said, I've fixed my eyes on something

Chorus 1
Heavenly, a place where wounds can heal
Heavenly, a place where my life can start again

Verse 2
On the run
Cradled kids, one suitcase of her own
She fled her home
Of ignorance, her rights that were denied
No support
Nothing, but guilt and shame shunning her away
Her image of
A loving Son began its slow decay

Prechorus 2
I will run, so she said, wiped the tears of pain so often shed
I will run, so she said, I've fixed my eyes on something

Chorus 2
Heavenly, a place where wounds can heal
Heavenly, a place where my life can start again
Heavenly, a place where wounds can heal
Heavenly, a place where my life can start again

Bridge
Will she ever know
Will she ever know the place that's high, above
Her cup would overflow

Chorus 3
Heavenly, a place where wounds can heal
Heavenly, a place where my life can start again
Heavenly, a place where wounds can heal
Heavenly, a place where my life can start again
