can i be with you
Everybody, each and all We're gonna die eventually It's no more or less our fault Than it is our destiny  So now, Lord, I come to You Asking only for Your grace You know what I've put myself through All those empty dreams I chased  And when my body lies in the ruins Of the lies that nearly ruined me Will You pick up the pieces that were pure and true And breathe life into them, set them free?  And when You start this world over again from scratch Will You make me anew out of the stuff that lasts? Stuff that's purer than gold is And clearer than glass could ever be Can I be with You? Can I be with You?  Everybody, all and each From the day that we are born We have to learn to walk beneath Those mercies by which we're drawn  And now we wrestle in the dark With these angels that we can't see We will move on although with scars Oh Lord, move in me  And when my body lies in the ruins Of the lies that nearly ruined me Will You pick up the pieces that were pure and true And breathe life into them and set them free?  When You blast this cosmos to kingdom come When those jagged edged mountains we love are gone When the sky is crossed with the tears Of a thousand falling suns as they crash into the sea Can I be with You? Can I be with You?  Can I be with You? Can I be with You? Can I be with You? Can I be with You?  And when my body lies in the ruins Of the lies that nearly ruined me Will You pick up the pieces that were pure and true And breathe life into them and set them free?  (Can I be?) Will You set them free? (Can I be with You?) Will You set them free? (Can I be with You?) (Can I be with You?) Set me free
