Stavesacre - Burning Clean lyrics

when this fleeting limelight fades

and we're alone again

what name will your heart speak?

what is true? what is real?

not what you feel

what you know eternally

ten years running blind and aimlessly

warming by the fires of bridges burning

ten thousand peering eyes that can only see

the show, the smile, the face i allow

how many more break beneath the surface?

young and bold, but blind and led by blind

His person missed beyond His name

was this the hope when we began?

a tragic generation

of faithless children and forgotten love?

i know i'd hoped for some other, higher purpose

what is true and what is real

past what you might feel

what do you know eternally?

and when this fleeting limelight fades

and we're alone again

what name will your heart speak?

and if you see me on the way down

would you smile and send me on my way?

and if you see me headed down

is there something more between

you and i?

something higher

something higher

i want to be real again

i want You, Father, be real in me

and if i see you on the way down

i'll lift your name up up into His care

and if i see you headed down

i'll do what i can to lift you up again

burn us clean, refine this world away

make Yourself real to me

make us to live as You would
