FLESH AND BONE

From the top of the world looking down
Life is lonely and love is only a 
Fleeting notion, suggesting an emotion
Long ago left behind

From the outside of my heart looking in
There's a mystery an ancient history 
Handed down and simplified; seeds of truth
Planted in the lies 

Flesh & Bone
Flesh & Bone
The only thing I'll ever own
Is the name by which I'm known
Flesh & Bone
Flesh & Bone
One child alone

And underneath the trappings of my life
I am naked, cannot fake it and  am at the mercy of the Lord 
Say a prayer to be spared His terrible
Swift sword

Flesh & Bone
Flesh & Bone
The only thing I'll ever own
Is the name by which I'm known
Flesh & Bone
Flesh & Bone
One child alone
