about

A song about overcoming the kind of shame that only religions can teach.

lyrics

Oh, you... you caught me off guard.
While I was out in my backyard.
I was nude. I was naked. Oh, I was baring it all.
You saw my shame, you watched my grace fall.

And you, you took me by surprise.
Oh, the skin that we wear - how it mystifies.
Oh I was stripped, yet modest lying under the sun.
You saw my shame - what my religion has done.
And so I walked down the street on that Sunday morn
with humility and anger but no clothing was worn.
And I was nude and I was naked and I was baring it all.
You saw my shame, you watched my grace fall.

Now, my shame is a cloak that I've worn for too long.
So, watch me disrobe through the words of this song.
I am stripped of my pain here and I'll bare it all to the world.
I'm a soul in a container, I'm an innocent girl.

So I walked through the churchyard on that Sunday morn
With a flower in my hand but no clothing was worn.
And I was nude and I was skyclad and I was baring it all.
You saw my shame, you watched my grace fall.
You saw my shame, you watched my grace fall.
You saw my shame... you watched it fall.
La da da da .. La da da da...
