I wish I could steal your sorrow
To make it moot and fill what's hollow
I wish I could heal those deep gashes
That left you broken into pieces
With a joy that could melt sadness
And peace to calm a raging anger
With health to make you whole again
And love that lasts forever
But my bleeding heart will not heal yours
Neither does my sorrow, Lessen that which you hold
See how I feel by how I love you
Take my kindness, Take My peace
Take my love and my joy
And my feelings will mirror yours
As they do even now

I wish I could steal your sorrow
To make it moot and fill what's hollow
I wish I could heal those deep gashes
That left you broken into pieces
With a joy that could melt sadness
And peace to calm a raging anger
With health to make you whole again
And love that lasts forever
But my bleeding heart will not heal yours
Neither does my sorrow, Lessen that which you hold
See how I feel by how I love you
Take my kindness, Take My peace
Take my love and my joy
And my feelings will mirror yours
As they do even now
To all those abused or cut
