"Worthy" lyrics - BETTYE LAVETTE

It took a mighty blow to crack me to the core
To finally come to know I could ask for more
I've wondered all my life, why I felt so alone
Trying to survive, how could I have known?

Worthy, worthy, what a thing to claim
Worthy, worthy ashes into flame
Worthy

Left stumbling in the dark, I had to go within
So I traced my scars, back to where I'd been
A diamond in the dirt, perfectly concealed
Down beneath the hurt, it's been so hard to feel

Worthy, worthy, what a thing to claim
Worthy, worthy ashes into flame
Worthy

I walked through a wall of fire
Left behind the only life I knew
No way back, no place to hide
When a voice came through

Worthy, worthy, what a thing to claim
Worthy, worthy ashes into flame
Worthy
