Body Of Work

Lyrics

I gave myself to the hammer and nail Bent to the burden, too tired to fail Built without blueprints, became what I paid My self defined by what I made

(Body of work) Look at what I’ve done (Body of work) Look at who I’ve become (Body of work) Hear the songs I’ve sung (Body of work) Will it be enough in the end

They tell me the temple is body But mine holds echoes inside me Each flaw a verse, each scar a hymn This flesh was shaped by what’s been

(Body of work) Look at what I’ve done (Body of work) Look at who I’ve become (Body of work) Hear the songs I’ve sung (Body of work) Let the silence answer, my friend

No one sees the hours I spent The weight I carry, the truths I bent The songs I sing you never hear Still I work, year after year

I wasn’t saved by standing still I was shaped by breaking will Not perfect, not clean-but real And that’s the grace which now I feel

(Body of work) Look at what I’ve done (Body of work) Look at who I’ve become (Body of work) Hear the songs I’ve sung (Body of work) I’d do it all again

Body of work… body of work… Still becoming. Still begun
