CLEANSE ME OF SHAME

Cleanse me of share, cleanse me of shame
You can say what you want, you can say what you need
You can say what you hope will someday set you free
You can say anything, yes, just say it to me, whatever
Cleanse me of shame, cleanse me of shame

You can hold it too long, all the way to the grave
And all that you take can be taken away
Take a look at yourself, it may take you a while, if ever
Cleanse me of shame, cleanse me of shame

You give what you can till there is nothing
Giving all you have to something
Making something out of nothing
Although you have got that special something
Everybody runs from something
Everybody’s missing something

You may wish you could stay, you may wish you could leave
You may wish on a star for the things you believe
You can beg, you can bleed, you can pray, you can plead forever
Cleanse me of shame, forever, cleanse me of shame

When you’re certain that youth is wasted on the young
When you’re sure that you’re smart and the others are dumb
When you fear you’re alone and you won’t find someone, not ever
Cleanse me of shame, not ever, cleanse me of shame

In the shade of the moon, in the light of the stars
In the darkness of spirits wherever they are
In the afternoon sun you may still find someone, forever
Cleanse me of shame, forever, cleanse me of shame, forever
Cleanse me of shame, forever, cleanse me of shame
Cleanse me of shame, cleanse me of shame
Cleanse me of shame, cleanse me of shame

A Song Can Tell A Story

When words leave off, music begins.

CLEANSE ME OF SHAME
