Once upon a heartbreak I was hot and sore
Punching at the darkness in my private war
I could not find the light I was so desperate for
Or any open door
Yeah, I wore my tattered shoes out on the grieving road
Fell into the arms of folks I didn't know
I finally got so weary of this heavy load
I learned to let it go
I'm free (and all the worry, all the running away is done)
And blessed (oh to be standing where I am with my feet upon the sand)
Welcome sweet contentment (peace has found me)
Oh, whatever comes will be okay
You know it will, uh huh huh
Back then I was running with a bitter crowd
Who wrapped these songs around me like some widow's shroud
The poetry I wrote then was as mad and loud
As any thundercloud
Now I'm standing where the river rushes to the sea
Full moon rising high above the redwood trees
And every trial and trouble, every tragedy
Well, it's just a memory
I'm free (and all the worry, all the running away is done)
And blessed (oh to be standing where I am in the beauty of this land)
Welcome sweet contentment (peace has found me)
Oh, whatever comes will be okay
You know it will, uh huh huh
I've seen floods and I've seen fire
Suffered losses, thieves and liars
Hear them howling in the wind
For every storm that comes around
And every love that let me down
A flower blooms in the shallow ground
Hoping to be found
Now I'm standing where the river rushes to the sea
Full moon rising high above the redwood trees
And every trial and trouble, every tragedy
Oh, it's just a memory
I'm free (and all the worry, all the running away is done)
And blessed (oh to be standing where I am with a flower in my hand)
Welcome sweet contentment (peace has found me)
Oh, whatever comes will be okay
Yeah, whatever comes is gonna be okay
Oh, whatever comes will be okay
You know it will, uh huh huh
