How to Bend

Light from the trail of a falling star
Notes from the strings of a sad guitar
Willows in the hands of an angry April wind
Know how to dance 'cause they know how to bend

The stubborn steel of a railroad track
Tears for someone who’s never coming back
Highways and rivers twist and turn and then
Find their way home 'cause they know how to bend

Oh I’d be in one piece
With nothing to mend
And I could stand on my feet again
You would still be beside me
I wouldn’t need to pretend
My heart wouldn’t break
If it knew how to bend

Truth from lips that struggle to come clean
Faith underneath the weight of shattered dreams
Knees that kneel down every now and then
Find forgiveness ‘cause they know how to bend
Lord teach my broken heart how to bend
