Walking with you is not without hazards
Trippings this traveler's curse
Price paid for falling is more than my stumble
In a world that is watching and waiting for words

But i listened when you said to go
And i set out in spite of my fears
About truth mixed with my imperfection
And the question of what to say when i got here

And now that i'm here
Should i tell them that
You are the one who has made me
And saved me and set up a home there inside
Should i tell them that i am a perfect example
Of all you can do with a life.
What should i say to them?
What if i'm failing them?
What should i tell the tonight?

Now don't get me wrong
I'm thankful to be here
With this song to sing and a spotlight on me,
But lately i'm wondering if you are mistaken,
If you're seeing all of me there is to see.

Cause on every face i detect
The same questions i've posed to you
Like do you speak through the imperfect
Are we too dirty for your light to get through?
I want your light to get through.

What should i tell them when
They're thirsty lord
My cup is empty lord
Come and lead me here in this place
Cuz i'm honest, yeah, but i'm unprepared
And i'm just plain afraid
