Analysis of Re-Stitch The Rip
Re-Stitch The Rip
By Matthew Mernagh
Re-stitch the rip;
Re-stitch the rip that’s slowly tearing you apart,
Relight the candle in your heart.
Dear friend, be the miracle… you pray for!
Re-stitch the rip;
Re-stitch the rip that leaves you hanging by a thread,
Revive the dreams inside your head.
Dear friend, be the miracle… you pray for!
Re-stitch the rip;
Re-stitch the rip that picks the pocket of your soul,
Remember, God will guide you home.
Dear friend, be the miracle… you pray for!
Re-stitch the rip;
Re-stitch the rip that keeps you wide awake each night,
Rewrite the story of your life.
Dear friend, be the miracle… you pray for!
