Powerless Lyrics

You're powerless when they lay your bones to rest,
But the heart of your resistance is still beating in your chest;

And who's to say, when you reach your final day,
If the hour of your departure has forever been your fate;

But you're not powerless today.

So when morning comes and the damage has been done,
You can cradle your resentment or load it like a gun;

And at heavens gate when the reckoning awaits,
You can hang your head in silence and pay for your mistakes;

But your not powerless today.

No sense coming home when you got somewhere to go;
No sense staying long when your heart's already gone;
No way to be sure that it's all worth fighting for;
No sense giving up when the struggle's all you got;

You're powerless when they lay your bones to rest,
But the burden on your shoulder is the weight you carry best;

And you can pray when the end comes round your way,
That the ones left who remember will have something real to say;

But you're not powerless today.

You're not powerless today.

No, no. You're not powerless today.

You're not powerless today.
