I met a man who walked on water Who wore his crown like a blue collar I met a man who treated children Like they were ambassadors to the kingdom If I saw the world in your eyes Would it help me understand How you see through all our lies Still you hold us in your hands I'm dying to believe I'm trying just to show That we're less than perfect More than flesh and bone People climb in trees To catch sight of you Broken and blind Searching for the truth We're crippled by our fears and torments Oh son of man, have pity on your servants If I saw the world in your eyes Would it help me understand How you see through all our lies Still you hold us in your hands I'm dying to believe I'm trying just to show That we're less than perfect More than flesh and bone I wonder and I won't squander The riches of your love It's never enough for me Oh take this polity And nail it to the tree And all that's captive shall go free Free And if I saw the world in your eyes Would it help me understand That you see through all our lies Still you hold us in your hands I'm dying to believe I'm rising just to show That we're less than perfect Yeah we're less than perfect Yeah we're less than perfect More than flesh and bone Yeah we're less than perfect Yeah we're less than perfect
