Lyrics

i never thought it would take a lifetime to straighten out the damage i have done /
and sometimes this is more than i've bargained for /
but i guess it's you who paid the ransom /
and i've seen the plans of what you plan to make of me /
and i'd understand if you'd like to pass this time /
because in the deepest parts i've searched for the reason why you'd do this /
it makes no sense and i ask what's the use

and to my own shame it seems i'm so inclined /
to offer human wisdom to divine

the clay is speaking out again / so sure this time with advice to give /
that might make confusion all unwind / but the stars seemed to find the sky just fine /
and you point to oceans as you show me my own hand /
inquire about all the times that i've turned dust to man /
and i am silenced / i am humbled / and i'm asking /
please keep on shaping

it was never my intention to take your place /
because i think i've made it clear that i have enough trouble on my own /
but life is made of more than what we never thought we'd do /
and the things we know to do are what we never wanted to /
so lord i'm asking you to come to the deepest parts /
and show me the reason why you're here with me /
unwinding / confiding / refining

yielding to you the objections cease /
and i'll watch you increase /
won't you increase
