[VERSE 1] Staring down at hands covered in dust Building an altar out of broken trust The ceiling is heavy, the air is cold ChASING the ghosts of the stories I was told I feel the weight of a thousand falls Trapped in the shadow of these self-made walls But there’s a quiet whisper in the wind Asking me where the healing can begin... [PRE-CHORUS] Can a broken vessel hold the light? Or am I destined to just fade into the night? I’m reaching up through the briar and the thorn Waiting for the dawn... [CHORUS] So wash away the mud, and pull me from the clay! Show me the path through the shadows of today! I am broken, I am torn, but I am fighting to believe There is a grace that my hands can finally receive! Lift me up... out of the clay. [VERSE 2] The mirror reflects a stranger's eyes Tired of the masks, tired of the clever lies We walk through fire just to find what’s pure Searching the wreckage for something that will endure I know I cannot fight this war alone Flesh cannot break a heart made of stone. [PRE-CHORUS] Can a broken vessel hold the light? Or am I destined to just fade into the night? I’m reaching up through the briar and the thorn Waiting for the dawn... [CHORUS] So wash away the mud, and pull me from the clay! Show me the path through the shadows of today! I am broken, I am torn, but I am fighting to believe There is a grace that my hands can finally receive! Lift me up... [BRIDGE] I fall to my knees... I’m begging for peace... Let the rain fall down! LET THE RAIN FALL DOWN! FREE ME FROM THIS GROUND! [GUITAR SOLO - CORRESPONDING TO 30-40 SECONDS] [CHORUS] So wash away the mud, and pull me from the clay! (PULL ME FROM THE CLAY!) Show me the path through the shadows of today! I am broken, I am torn, but I am fighting to believe There is a grace that my hands can finally receive! [OUTRO] Lift me up... Create in me... something new. Out of the clay.
