(Lowest string tuned to D)
Verse 1:
Walking with you is not without hazards
Tripping's this traveler's curse
The price paid for falling is more than my stumble
In a world that is watching and waiting for worse
But I listened when you said to go
And I set out in spite of my fears
I brought truth mixed with my imperfections
And the question of what to say when I got here
And now that I'm here
Chorus:
Should I tell them that you are the one who has made me
And saved me to set up a home there inside
Should I tell them that I am a perfect example
Of all you can do with a life?
What should I say to them?
What if I'm failing them?
What should I tell them tonight?
Interlude:
Verse 2:
Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful to be here
With this song to sing and a spotlight on me
But lately I'm wondering if you are mistaken
If you're seeing all of me there is to see
But on every face I detect
The same questions I've posed to you
Like "Do You speak through the imperfect,
Or are we too dirty for Your light to get through?"
I want your light to get through
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Well, they're thirsty but my cup is empty, Lord
Come and meet me here in this place
Cause I'm unashamed, but I'm unprepared
And I'm just plain afraid
(Chorus 2x)
What should I tell them tonight?
