Wounded

Up he'yah in these mount'ns
lessons ah hahd as wintah  
  
Too much weight    
on ah frozen lake'll crack it  
from ah branch'll snap it    
in a hart'll break it    
   
Thas exactly what ya want    
'caus then ya don't have ta worry  
bout it breaking no more    
   
Long time ago I discovah'd  
I was hurt'n myself    
by tak'n things all personal;  
   
it's not what was said  
but what I was think'n;  
tha uffend'd, hurt, angry paht    
is ya wound talk'n    
   
an ya wound is tell'n ya someth'n  
if ya listen:    
   
stop bandag'n the pain    
let it bleed, surrendah    
 
I rose above it all-    
discovah'd freedom I'd nevah known  
 
Cause "The wound    
is where the light enters"
