You could plant me like a tree beside a river You could tangle me in soil and let my roots run wild And I would blossom like a flower in the desert But for now just let me cry You could raise me like a banner in a battle Put victory like a fire behind my shining eyes I would drift like falling snow over the embers But for now just let me lie
Bind up these broken bones Mercy bend and breathe me back to life But not before You show me how to die
Set me like a star before the morning Like a song that steals the darkness from a world asleep And I'll illuminate the path You've laid before me But for now just let me be
Let me go like a leaf upon the water Let me brave the wild currents flowing to the sea And I will disappear into a deeper beauty But for now just stay with me God for now just stay with me
