Heart In My Hands

if i laid down my cross, by the riverside. and built a fire out of things denied. if i took off my mask, revealing all i tried to hide. if i took the chance, and let you look inside. would you love me? would you know me for a man? would you see me for more than kingdoms built on sand? would you if i would? i know that i can... i'll stand where i am, with my heart in my hands. if we forgot and forgave, the stumbles and the falls. if we broke down anger, and tore down the walls. if you knew your heart, would you stop, would you pause? would your feet follow your longing, would you answer my call? would you love me? would you know me for a man? would you see me for more than kingdoms built on sand? would you if i would? i know that you can... just stand where you are, with your heart in your hands.
