Pardon My Dust

(album: What A Heart Is Beating For - 2007)

Pardon my dust, excuse the mess
We're making something new out of all of this
I'm saying my prayers, and I'm trying to change
So give me some time, 'cause I'm still finding my way

Why are you looking at me this way?
Pointing your finger, shaking your head
How 'bout some love along the way, instead

Pardon my dust, excuse this mess
I've left a trail of debris, so you've gotta be
Very careful where you step
I've made some mistakes, so what?
Done quite a few things wrong

Could you roll up your tidy sleeves and help a brother along?

Pardon my dust, excuse the mess
Please, don't be another judge I need to try to impress
Stop calling me names, stop casting your stones
Let the good Lord sort this all out when we are all at home

Pardon my dust, excuse my mess
Help me believe there's gonna be something beautiful on the other side of this
Have patience with me, I'm still sweeping floors
So pardon my dust, I'll pardon yours
