Take a listen child, if you can
Gonna tell you a story, now
About a broken man

He done built his walls
In time they all caved in
He done lost what he loved, son
Done killed him in the end

Lord, I'll take it here to heaven
Feelin' like you don't belong
Lord, if life was music, yours would be
One torn and tattered song, oh yeah

A whole lot of hurtin', child
A whole lotta pain
If you could do it all over, son
Tell me, would it end the same?

A never ending feeling
Forever sinkin' low
I lost the light in your tunnel, child
You lost which way to go

Lord, I'll take it here to heaven
Feelin' like you don't belong
Lord, if life was music, yours would be
One torn and tattered song, oh yeah

Lord, I'll take it here to heaven
Feelin' like you don't belong
Lord, if life was music, yours would be
One torn and tattered song, oh yeah

Oh, yeah now
One torn and tattered song
Hey, yeah now
Lord, one torn and tattered song now
Lord, one torn and tattered song
