Lyrics Bettye Lavette

Bettye Lavette

Worthy

It took a mighty blow

To crack me all the way to the core

To finally come to know

That I could ask for more

I've wondered all my life

Tryna find a home

Tryin' to survive

How could I have known?

Left ya stumblin' in the dark

So I had to go within

I trace every one of my scar

Right to where I've been

A diamond in the dirt

So totally concealed

Way down beneath the hurt

It was so hard for me to feel that I was

Worthy, worthy

What a thing to claim!

Worthy, worthy

Ashes into flames

Oh, ah, worthy

I've walked through a wall of fire

Left behind the only life I knew

No way back, nowhere to hide

But finally, finally a voice came through

Oh, and said that I was

Worthy, worthy

What a thing to claim!

Worthy, worthy

Ashes into flames

Oh, ah, worthy
