Lyrics
What Would You Think of Me?
Words and Music The Reverend Billy Rose! ©1994
I've cried the tears of a thousand men, let torment rule my mind
I've tried so hard to make things right but heartache is all that I find
If you could look past all my fears, beyond the sea of blame
The bridges built to cross the years, then burned to hide the shame
What would you think of me
If I threw open the gate
What would you think of me
That guards a secret inner place
What would you think of me
If I revealed my sin
Would you turn and walk away from me
Or would you still call me your friend
Locked away from accusing eyes, hidden deep within my soul
The vault that stores my darkest pain, with blackened, sin scarred walls
What would you think of me
If I threw open the gate
What would you think of me
That guards a secret inner place
What would you think of me
If I revealed my sin
Would you turn and walk away from me
Or would you still call me your friend
What would you think of me
If I threw open the gate
What would you think of me
That guards a secret inner place
What would you think of me
If I revealed my sin
Would you turn and walk away from me
Or would you still call me your friend
