God bless the tenderhearted who love us face to face
Untempered and unguarded, they see through our mistakes
They've had loss and been broken - more than we may ever know
But it's the tenderhearted who let life overflow
All the pain a world can bring bruises more than we see
I couldn't take another hit, the light's turned off inside of me
So I built a wall around my heart, keep it in and keep it out
But nothing when surrounded survives but fear and doubt
God bless the tenderhearted who love us face to face
And share the loving kindness they were given on the way
They've had loss and been broken - more than we may ever know
But it's the tenderhearted who let life overflow
