Comin' Down Lyrics - Courage - Paula Cole

Lord, make me a lightnin' bolt to burn off this ring 

Comin' down, comin' down 

Lord, make me a skilsaw to cut through these chains 

Comin' down, comin' down 

Lord, give me the clarity to see through this smoke 

And salvage the woman comin' down 

Lord, make me an arrow to pierce through the lies 

Comin' down, comin' down 

Lord, make me a lens to better see my life 

Comin' down, comin' down 

Lord, make me an instrument to sing away the pain 

This rushing river, comin' down 

I'm free, here in the mountains of peace, may I be 

I see the greatness above and the smallness of me 

Lord, I'm mistaken in the choices that I make 

Comin' down, comin' down 

I made me a prison that should've been a man 

Comin' down, comin' down 

Lord, help me discover the courage to be 

To handle these changes comin' down 

I'm free, here in the mountains of peace, may I be 

I see the greatness above and the smallness of me 

So free, here in the garden awake consciously 

I see the greatness within, the greatness in me 

Lord, I'm your instrument, I'll shoulder the weight 

Comin' down, comin' down 

Feeling emotions in a deeper shade 

Comin' down, comin' down 

I'll be the one who puts them to song 

And liberate the heartache comin' down
