Bettye Lavette - Worthy Lyrics

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
