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 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 --- Bare to the Bone - Carrie Newcomer
