God bless the tenderhearted Who will love us face to face Untempered and unguarded They see through our mistakes They have lost and been broken More than we will ever know But it's the tenderhearted Who let life for the overflow All the pain a world can bring Bruises more than we see I couldn't take another hit Lights turned off inside of me So I built a wall around my heart Keep it in to keep it out And nothing, when surrounded Survives but fear and doubt God bless the tenderhearted Who will love us face to face And share the love and kindness They were given on the way They have lost and been broken More than we will ever know But it's the tenderhearted Who let life for the overflow Yes, it's the tenderhearted who let life overflow
