Couplet 1

Woke up this morning
With pain in my chest
I have a vision for the future
That I haven’t seen yet
I’m always getting older
Getting closer to the end
If someday
I’ll be whole then while I’m broken

Refrain

O I can’t help this longing
No I won’t stop this hoping
O I can’t help this longing
No I won’t stop this hoping

Couplet 2

Years in the bank
I don’t have much to show
But if you ask me if I’m certain
I’ve got nowhere else to go
I’m always getting richer
When I’m close to being spent
If someday
I’ll be whole then while I’m broke

Refrain

O I can’t help this longing
No I won’t stop this hoping
O I can’t help this longing
No I won’t stop this hoping

Pont

This broken body can’t get whole
Until we tarry on this road
The wheels of change are moving slow
You’re our only hope

Refrain

O I can’t help this longing
No I won’t stop this hoping
O I can’t help this longing
No I won’t stop this hoping
