Bare To The Bone

Here I am without a message

Here I stand with empty hands

Just a spirit tired of wandering

Like a stranger in this land

Walking wide eyed through this world

Is the only way I've known

Wrapped in hope and good intentions

Bare to the bone

There is nothing I won't show you

Nothing I can hide

Risked it all and dreamt it all

And seldom questioned why

You took me in when I was hungry

When my spirit ached and groaned

Laid wide open and defenseless

And bear to the bone

So, when I rise, I rise in glory

If I do, I do by grace

Time will wash away these footprints

And we'll leave without a trace

Between here and now and forever

Is such precious little time?

What we do in love and kindness

Is all that we leave behind

When my lights are slowly fading

And my eyes is softly waning

And the evening sun is setting

And the world is barely breathing

Then your voice will call me

And your hands can lead me home

Like a newborn awed and naked

And bare to the bone

So, when I rise, I rise in glory

If I do, I do by grace

Time will wash away these footprints

And we'll leave without a trace

Between here and now and forever

Is such precious little time

What we do in love and kindness

Is all we ever leave behind

Here I am without a message

Here I stand with empty hands

Just a spirit tired of wandering

Like a stranger in this land

Walking wide eyed through this world

Is the only way I've known

Wrapped in hope and good intentions

Bare to the bone

Wrapped in hope and good intentions

Bare to the bone
