I Shall Not Walk Alone Lyrics - Higher Ground - Blind Boys Of Alabama

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 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 

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
