lyrics

Even in the midst of great pain, my friend
I praise you for that which is
And I will not, no, I won’t refuse this grief
Or close myself to this anguish
Oh let other people, let them pray for ease
They say, Comfort us and shield us from sorrow
They say, Big guy, you know you got to fix my world
And don’t upset my applecart tomorrow
But me, I pray for whatever you send
And I ask to receive it as your gift
Cause you have put a gold-card joy inside of this heart
And all this weight upon my shoulders, it lifts
So I lie down at night and trust the dark
Cause I can feel how you are near
Ya I lie down at night and love the dark
Cause always in this darkness, you appear

So even…when I’m curled up in a ball of sad
When I plumb the depths of anti-glad
You might think that I’m plumb loco and gone mad
Well…perhaps a tad

And even…even, even when I hurt
Even when I feel like dirt
Don’t you know it someone steals my shirt
Right from my yurt

Even, even lost and all alone
When I ache right to the bone
When my heart is like a stone
You call me home
