I’m out of time – I’m out of place
And looking up – it seems I’ve fallen from grace
Ragged and torn – these clothes I wear
I’ve paid my price – fallen out of repair
But look beyond – my doubt and fear
You’ll find a treasure beneath the tears
Inside this timeless heart
Betrays my trembling hand
Won’t someone take – who I am

As is – take me as is
You could restore me – shine down your glory
From under the dust and the rust
Won’t you take me? – as is

As childhood fades – for dreams to thrive
There must be love – to keep the child alive
When love goes wrong – or can’t be found
The tug of life forever pulling us down
That’s been my tale – that’s been my plight
I’m walking wounded – can’t see the light
I’m searching high and low – to find the missing part
Won’t someone take this broken heart – as is

As is – take me as is
You could restore me – shine down your glory
From under the dust and the rust
Won’t you take me? – as is

The weight upon my shoulders
These blisters on my heels
Between the lines upon my face
The story can be revealed
But I’ve met the man who casts the giant shadow
Now I stand before the kingdom that is his – as is

As is – take me as is
You could restore me – shine down your glory
From under the dust and the rust
Won’t you take me? – as is
