Cross That We Carry Lyrics

Maybe it's the height of the waves

Faith blind that I buried

Maybe this is all of the weight that I can carry

Maybe it's the passage divine

Into the womb of the Virgin

Maybe there's a part of the story you're preserving

But I've been tossed in the ocean

And I've been bound by the wind

And I've been carelessly open

Cross that we carry

Sweet Mother Mary, Let me in

Wrestling you all of the night

Through the howls of the desert

Wounded at the hip and the spine you blessed the leper

Even in the face of the damned

In the all of the ether

Oh, born again, the open unbeliever

But I've been tossed in the ocean

And I've been bound by the wind

And I've been carelessly open

Cross that we carry

Sweet Mother Mary, Let me in

Into your arms again

Say I'm your son

Or call me a friend

'Cause I've been tossed in the ocean

And I've been bound by the wind

And I've been carelessly open

Cross that we carry

Oh, Sweet Mother Mary

Cross that we carry

Oh, Sweet Mother Mary, Let me in

Ooh, let me in
