Lyrics for I Shall Not Walk Alone

Battered and torn still I can see the light Tattered and worn but I must kneel to fight Friend of mine, what can't you spare? I know sometimes it gets cold in there When my legs no longer carry And the warm wind chills my bones I reach for Mother Mary And I shall not walk alone Hope is alive while we're apart Only tears speak from my heart Break the chains that hold us down And we shall be forever bound When I'm tired and weary And a long way from home I reach for Mother Mary And I shall not walk alone I shall not walk alone Beauty that we left behind How shall we tomorrow find Set aside our weight in sin So that we can live again When my legs no longer carry And the warm wind chills my bones I reach for Mother Mary And I shall not walk alone I shall not walk alone
