Lyrics

You’re shat tered like you’ve (Bb)nev er been be fore.

The life you knew

in a thou sand piec es on the floor.

And words fall short in times like these when this world drives you to your knees.

You think you’re (Bb)nev er gon na get back to the you that used to be.

Tell your heart to beat a gain, close your eyes and breathe it in.

Let the shad ows fall a way, step in to the light of grace.

Yes ter day’s a clos ing door; you don’t live there an y more.

Say good bye to where you’ve been

and tell your heart to beat a gain.

Be gin ning;

just let that word wash o ver you.

It’s all right now;

love’s heal ing hands have pulled you through.

So get back up, take step one, leave the dark ness, feel the sun.

’Cause your (Bb)sto ry’s far from o ver, and your jour ney’s just be gun.

and tell your heart to beat a gain.

Let ev ’ry heart break

and ev

’ry scar

be a (Bb)pic ture that re minds you who has car ried you this far.

’Cause love sees far ther

than you ev er could.

In this (Bbsus2)mo ment, heav en’s work ing ev ’ry thing for your good.

Tell your heart to beat a gain, close your eyes and breathe it in.

Let the shad ows fall a way, step in to the light of grace.

Yes ter day’s a clos ing door; you don’t live there an y more.

Say good bye to where you’ve been

and tell your heart to beat a gain,

your heart to beat a gain,

beat

a gain.

Oh,

so tell your (Dm7)heart

to beat a (F)gain.
