The Altar
I'm at the end of myself
I just dropped out of the running
I don't recall when I last pulled the shades and said
"Here comes the sun,
Here comes a new day"
Someone remind me again
The joy might show up on occasion
But I'm sitting here with my hands in my in hair
And my eyes on the ground
Wondering if I'll be found by you
Will you make me new
Will you take what's left of me
Cause I guarantee
That it won't be a fair trade
Will you set me free
From what's keeping me afraid
I know I've prayed it all before
But I'm back on the altar
I don't believe what they say
About one foot in front of the other
If my life was a map, you'd see every last step
Just circling around
Still lost but never found by you
So will you make me new
Will you take what's left of me
I guarantee that it won't be a fair trade
Will you set me free
From what's keeping me afraid
I know I've prayed it all before
But I'm back on the altar
Maybe last year I'd have made empty promises
Maybe last month I'd have tried to pull strings
But I don't have one single chip left to bargain with
The only thing left is me
Needing you
To make me new
Will you take what's left of me
Cause i guarantee
That it won't be a fair trade
Will you set me free
From what's keeping me afraid
I know I've prayed it all before
But I'm back on the altar
I just dropped out of the running
I don't recall when I last pulled the shades and said
"Here comes the sun,
Here comes a new day"
Someone remind me again
The joy might show up on occasion
But I'm sitting here with my hands in my in hair
And my eyes on the ground
Wondering if I'll be found by you
Will you make me new
Will you take what's left of me
Cause I guarantee
That it won't be a fair trade
Will you set me free
From what's keeping me afraid
I know I've prayed it all before
But I'm back on the altar
I don't believe what they say
About one foot in front of the other
If my life was a map, you'd see every last step
Just circling around
Still lost but never found by you
So will you make me new
Will you take what's left of me
I guarantee that it won't be a fair trade
Will you set me free
From what's keeping me afraid
I know I've prayed it all before
But I'm back on the altar
Maybe last year I'd have made empty promises
Maybe last month I'd have tried to pull strings
But I don't have one single chip left to bargain with
The only thing left is me
Needing you
To make me new
Will you take what's left of me
Cause i guarantee
That it won't be a fair trade
Will you set me free
From what's keeping me afraid
I know I've prayed it all before
But I'm back on the altar
