Exposed

Naked, I am unbound to be exposed
Nearer now than ever, ego will not let me go
I am seen

Not so pristine, your loving eyes won’t let me be
I hear me plea, “Get away from me, Get away from me,”
You only need to stay, if you will, to see the best and worst of me
My selfishness and inadequacy
Change seems impossible Shame is unbearable

But if I’m committed, I must tear down my own defense
And I know that I’ll do it again and again and again
Would you believe my teachers say, “Because it is, it is okay,”
But broken homes are…

But you’ve fallen asleep with your shame and your tears
People, wake up!
We are not alone, not alone, not alone

Eyes be opened
Ears be hearing
Heart perceive we’re not, not alone

Eyes be opened (Loving eyes don’t let me be)
Ears be hearing (Forbear and make a way for me)
Heart perceive we’re not, not alone
