My words are all stripped bare Tonight I want something else Something different To make some kind of clarity Of everything that's over us That's hanging in the air Coming in on the darkness Sounds of small voices I'm many different tongues Codes coming in Music mingling From lands I've never seen Places that I've been Where strangers have given more to me Than I could ever dream of Oh make it clear tonight Fragile word Whatever's hanging over us I'm reaching out beyond it now Turning shadows into light Fragile life He's fighting beyond all this Turn his shadows into light Words are all stripped bare Fragile bodies Small voices carry through the air All this life inside of us In a darkened world tonight.
