Iris DeMent - The Heart Tells The Story lyrics

Precious child in my arms how I yearn in my heart to make it easier than it was for me but we all have our times and our stairs we must climb there is one thing I'm hoping you'll see The heart tells the story, the heart holds the glory There's a light deep inside and it will burn through your darkest night It will guide you when I'm no longer there When you're struggling alone wondering "God, what went wrong" look inside you and the answer you'll see The heart tells the story, the heart holds the glory Precious child I've been blessed Holding you to my breast Oh, your sweetness it has opened my eyes and through you I have learned there's nowhere else for me to turn it seems there's only one place it can be The heart tells the story, the heart holds the glory
