[Verse 1]
I pace the dented roof
On four cold feet
Moon on my knuckles
Mud on my jeans
I watched the windows black
I watched them stay
If You are out there
Come find me today
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep my teeth in line
I keep my hands still
But something in me growls
At the edge of Your will
Tell me You see me now
Tell me I’m not dust
Tell me Your mercy runs
Deeper than my lust
[Chorus]
I want to be a hero
Like Spider-Man
Open hands, open heart
If I can, I can
I want to be a hero
In the wreck I am
If You call my name
I’ll come running again
[Verse 2]
The dogwood by the fence
Bent under frost
I thought of every soul
I thought I’d lost
I saw my wild blood
In the wash basin shine
Still I kept asking
For one clean sign
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep my teeth in line
I keep my hands still
But something in me growls
At the edge of Your will
Tell me You see me now
Tell me I’m not dust
Tell me Your mercy runs
Deeper than my lust
[Chorus]
I want to be a hero
Like Spider-Man
Open hands, open heart
If I can, I can
I want to be a hero
In the wreck I am
If You call my name
I’ll come running again
[Bridge]
When the dawn cuts through me
I shake and I kneel
If grace can reach a beast
Then grace must be real
So take this crooked prayer
Take this hungry skin
Make something holy
Out of what I’ve been
[Chorus]
I want to be a hero
Like Spider-Man
Open hands, open heart
If I can, I can
I want to be a hero
In the wreck I am
If You call my name
I’ll come running again
