Tenderhearted

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 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 overflow
Yes, it's the tenderhearted who let life overflow
