Artist: carrie newcomer
Song: 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
