Lyrics
You think sorrow is a long back road
With no house light up ahead
You think pain is just a thief in the night
Come to take what little hope you have left
You’re holding tight to the pieces of you
Like they’re all you’ve got to lose
But the deeper this hurt cuts down in your soul
The more room it makes for the truth
[Pre-Chorus]
Every tear carves a deeper river
Every hard night teaches hearts to sing
You may feel like you’re just breaking apart
But you are opening
[Chorus]
The same heart that breaks
Is the same heart that sings
And the hurt that cuts you open
Makes more room for beautiful things
Every sorrow shapes a chamber
Every pain pulls back the dark
And the light comes pouring in
Through the cracks in your heart
[Verse 2]
You used to pray for a life untouched
For an easy road somehow
You wanted love without the risk of loss
Wanted peace without the storm clouds
But you will learn the weight of mercy
When you’ve carried something gone
And you will see how deep joy can run
When sorrow has walked along
[Bridge]
So let it rain
Let it roll right through you
Let the night say what it came to say
If your cup gets hollowed deeper
Maybe that just means one day
You can hold a little more joy
Than you ever could before
Maybe pain is not your ending
Maybe it’s the prophet’s door
[Build]
You are not destroyed
You are being widened
You are not undone
You are being remade
[Final Chorus]
The same heart that breaks
Is the same heart that sings
And the hurt that cuts you open
Makes more room for beautiful things
Every sorrow shapes a chamber
Every pain pulls back the dark
And the light comes pouring in
Through the cracks in your heart
Yes, the light comes pouring in
Through the cracks in your heart
[Outro]
So if you weep
Let it mean you’re living
If you bend
Let it mean you’re still strong
The same heart that knows the sorrow
Is the one that carries on
