Ferron - The Chosen Ones lyrics

rate me

I'd think of all those people with their love and understanding<br />

How they wear it like they had it from the start<br />

I must have been the other kind...<br />

The kind with just a lonely mind and heart<br />

And from where you stand you're an attractive revelation<br />

And from where I stand I'm mostly on my knees<br />

And from there I said hello, felt something small and slow<br />

Say "Please, please, please"<br />

And though it's just a thought, It's such a saving shot...<br />

For every person there's a rhyme and a reason<br />

To decide to be the chosen one to stand among the broken ones.<br />

I remember crying down a long and withered highway<br />

I remember waiting for my story to begin.<br />

Had all my laughs cut short, a boat without a port<br />

A ragged house of tin.<br />

But ... maybe it's true about the teacher when you're ready<br />

Maybe it's true about the hollow and the slope<br />

Love, turn my steps around<br />

Let me fall on solid ground with Faith and rope.<br />

And though it's just a thought, I say it's all I've got...<br />

For every person there's a rhyme and a reason<br />

To decide to be the chosen one to stand among<br />

The broken ones.<br />

Outside a window there's a night beyond all secrets<br />

And outside that window there's a window shining in<br />

And it shows a room that has a fire steady burning<br />

And a woman knowing that the darkness can't come in<br />

And she wants to thank you for your love and understanding<br />

She needs to thank you for your honour to the soul<br />

It's love from someone who believed she'd need a stand in<br />

To tell her story let alone to live it whole<br />

And though it's just a thought, she says it's all we've got<br />

For every person there's a rhyme and a reason<br />

To decide to be the chosen one to stand among<br />

The broken ones.<br />

Stand among the broken ones,<br />

Stand among the broken ones...<br />

For every person<br />

May love come through<br />

For every person<br />

May love come through
