Testing The Strong Ones

There's an angel by your hospital bed

Desperate to hear his name on your breath

As he looks down you're not making a sound

Open your eyes look at me

I'll bring to you whatever you need

And I'll tell you I'm sorry

That I can't take this pain away from you

And I'd put it on my own body if I knew how to

Can't you see?



I've gotta bust you outta here somehow

I've never seen your heart this tired

I've never seen your spirit held down

I know that you say

This is what you get

For being a bad child

But I know this would be your reward

For just a little while

For just a little while



Its testing the strong ones

Scaring the beautiful ones

It's holding the loved ones

One last time

Its testing the strong ones

(testing the strong ones)

Its scarring the beautiful ones

(staring the beautiful ones)

Its holding the loved ones

One last time

Its testing the strong ones

(testing the strong ones)

Its scarring the beautiful ones

(staring the beautiful ones)

Its holding the loved ones

One last time

Testing the strong ones

(testing the strong ones)

Scarring the beautiful ones

(scarring the beautiful ones)

Its holding the loved ones

One last time
