Song Lyrics

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 and
Bare to the bone

There is nothing I won't show you
There is nothing I can hide
I've 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

When I rise I rise in Glory
If I do I do by grace
Time will wash away our 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

When my eyes are slowly fading
When the light is softly waning
When the evening sun is setting
And the world is barely breathing
Then your voice will gently call me
And your hand will lead me home
Like a newborn awed and naked
And Bare to the Bone

When I rise I rise in Glory
If I do I do by grace
Time will wash away our footprints
And we'll leave without a trace
Between her 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 and
Bare to the Bone
