Just a man at the end of my rope
All alone in a life without hope
Had it all, lost it all
Because of pride and inattention
Saw a flash in the pitch black of night
Saw a face bathed in glorious light
Heard a voice, take my hand
And I will lead you to redemption
Then my heart was cleansed and my soul redeemed
And my faith restored again
When we walk in the spirit that Jesus lived
Then the gift of forgiveness is ours to give
For that one second chance to begin again
There's a wise and sacred phrase
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tabula rasa
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Shattered heart, precious pieces of gla**
Just a child forced to grow up too fast
All alone with her innocence betrayed
And dreams forsaken
Now her soul cries out for the grace of love
And she hears a voice within
When we walk in the spirit that Jesus lived
Then the gift of forgiveness is ours to give
For that one second chance to begin again
There's a wise and sacred phrase
As the chains are removed from our fear and doubt
Let us now greet the brand new day
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tabula rasa
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tabula rasa
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Behind every face and inside every heart
The scars of the past weigh you down
Your destiny's chosen before you start
You're free, it don't matter now
Oh, oh, the slate is clean
Oh, oh, the road is marked
Oh, oh, we turn the page
Oh, oh, we give our hearts
When we walk in the spirit that Jesus lived
Then the gift of forgiveness is ours to give
For that one second chance to begin again
There's a wise and sacred phrase
As the chains are removed from our fear and doubt
Let us now greet the brand new day
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tabula rasa
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tabula rasa
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
The slate is clean, the road is marked
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
We turn the page
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, tabula rasa
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
We give our hearts, We give our life
We turn the page, the road is marked
Oh-oh, tabula rasa
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
