Little Joey chased that baseball
Right in front of a truck
His father blamed himself,
His mother blamed him, too
Six months later they split up

Sometimes we feel like empty shells
The Lord forgives us
Long before we forgive ourselves
So we scrape and crawl
Down dirt roads
And over crumbling walls
And ev’ry step is painful
For those who survive
O it’s long, long journey
Back to life

She tried to find herself
He stayed a lost soul
It was no one’s fault,
And it wasn’t fate
This world just takes a heavy toll

Sometimes we feel like empty shells
The Lord forgives us
Long before we forgive ourselves
So we scrape and crawl
Down dirt roads
And over crumbling walls
And ev’ry step is painful
For those who survive
O it’s long, long journey
Back to life

She did volunteer work
At the food bank at the local church
And one day he came drivin’ through
She handed him some cheese and bread
After all that time, their eyes just met
And somehow, in their hearts they knew…

Sometimes we feel like empty shells
The Lord forgives us
Long before we forgive ourselves
So we scrape and crawl
Down dirt roads
And over walls
And ev’ry step is painful
For those who survive
O it’s long, long journey
Back to life

O it’s long, long journey
Back to life
Back to life

Yes, The Lord forgives us
Long before we forgive ourselves
