Testing the Strong Ones

Music: The Vanguard Room 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 and look at me I'll bring to you whatever you need I'll tell you I'm sorry That I can't take this pain away from you I'd put it on my own body If I knew how to, can't you see? I've gotta bust you out of 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 will be your reward In just a little while In just a little while It's testing the strong ones It's scarring the beautiful ones It's holding the loved ones one last time It's testing the strong ones It's scarring the beautiful ones It's holding the loved ones one last time It's testing the strong ones It's scarring the beautiful ones It's holding the loved ones one last time It's testing the strong ones It's scarring the beautiful ones It's holding the loved ones one last time
