From Audrey's wonderful album "The House You're Building",this is a video I made for her song "Show Me." I usually superimpose the lyrics over my videos. I chose not to this time, because of the sparseness of the instrumentation. Here are the lyrics: You could plant me like a tree beside a river You could tangle me in soil and let my roots run wild And I would blossom like a flower in the desert But for now just let me cry You could raise me like a banner in the battle Put victory like fire behind my shining eyes And I would drift like falling snow over the embers But for now just let me lie Bind up these broken bones Mercy bend and bring me back to life But not before you show me how to die Set me like a star before the morning Like a sun that steals the darkness from a world asleep And I'll illuminate the path You've laid before me But for now just let me be Bind up these broken bones Mercy bend and bring me back to life But not before You show me how to die No, not before You show me how to die So let me go like a leaf upon the water Let me brave the wild currents flowing to the sea And I will disappear into a deeper beauty But for now just stay with me God, for now just stay with me
