Can you walk

Through broken glass

While the wind blows strong

From nights gone past

Can you handle the pain

And the torment to come

When the nights return

And you can’t see the sun

Does the glass cut deep

Does the blood run fast

Can you really walk

Through broken glass

The glass is spread

On every road

And the walk is longer

With a heavy load

I cannot make it

Down this path

No, I cannot walk

Through broken glass

My skin tears more

With every step that I take

This feels like a nightmare

That I can’t escape

There’s no one in sight

To help me along

I’m wounded and weary

Where I used to be strong

I’m frozen in time

And unable to move

Overwhelmed by the feeling

I have something to prove

I’m supposed to be the one

Who is able to pass

Through all of the roads

Covered with broken glass

The night has gotten colder

And the wind even stronger

I’m not sure I can take this

For very much longer

The only thing I can do

Is look up above

To my Heavenly Father

And be wrapped in His love

I know that He’s with me

And I’m never on my own

On this glass covered road

I’m not walking alone

My tendency is to ask

For the glass to be removed

And the path I must walk

To be gentle and smoothed

But then I am reminded

We’re not given more than we can bare

And the roads we must walk

Can be filled with despair

I no longer request

A road with no glass

But instead for the strength

I will need on this path

So next time you must walk

Through broken glass

While the wind blows strong

From nights gone past

You can handle the pain

And the torment to come

When the night’s return

With help from the Son

The glass may cut deep

And the blood run fast

As you take the walk

Through broken glass

The glass may be covering

The road up ahead

And the load may be heavy

Down the path you are lead

I thought I couldn’t make it

Down my difficult path

But with God I can walk

Through the broken glass
