Clothed in the common and profane And the tendency for independence runs through every vein Self aware, bare before you at the water side Afraid to take the step into the tide Oh, I feel so obscene knowing I am only Clean because you promised me I'm clean, wash me, I am clean Called apart never has meant loneliness But it feels that way any day I'd rather not confess So take away the part of me that forgets the price of grace I have only one hope to erase every failure I have seen and I am only Clean because you promised me I'm clean, wash me, I am clean And ready for the world Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you Clean because you promised me I'm clean, wash me, I am clean And ready for the world I'm clean because you promised me I'm clean, wash me, I am clean And ready for the world, ready for the world Ready for the world, ready for the world Ready for the world, I'm ready for the world
