Bare To The Bone Lyrics - Carrie Newcomer

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
