Scarecrow Lyrics by Skillet

Hey You, I Love Your Soul

1998

[Verse 1]
Hanging on a post
In my dirty clothes
Try to concentrate on You
But I keep forgetting

[Pre-Chorus]
Safe enough to not let go
Scared enough to not release
Open up to drink the wind
You tear me up when you come in

[Chorus]
Take me down, shake me out
Give me a brain, that I might know You better
Take me down, shake me out
Give me a brain, that I might know You better

[Verse 2]
Hanging in the sun
Waiting for the rain
Saw a field catch on fire
I caught myself just watching

[Pre-Chorus]
Safe enough to not let go
Scared enough to not release
Open up to drink the wind
You tear me up when you come in

[Chorus]
Take me down, shake me out
Give me a heart, that I might love You better
Take me down, shake me out
Give me a heart, that I might love You better

[Verse 3]
Hanging on a post
Just next to Yours
I want to curse and spit
I weep aloud at Your mercy

[Chorus]
Take me down, shake me out
Give me a life, that I might serve You better
Take me down, shake me out
Give me a life, that I might serve You better
Take me down, shake me out
Give me a life, that I might serve You better
Take me down, shake me out
Give me a life, that I might serve You better
Take me down, shake me out
Give me a life, that I might serve You better
Take me down, shake me out
Give me a life, that I might serve You better
