Battered and torn
 still I can see the light
 tattered and worn
 but I must kneel down to fight

 Friends of mine
 what can't you spare
 I know some times
 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
