I was deeply
clad in the fears I had
My secrets
meant for the grave
This overcoat
was the antidote
For
consequences of mistakes
I can't hide ‘cause
God knows my feelings
And I find
that's much more appealing
Now I'm naked
I've been
stripped of my clothes
And I'm
ashamed
But I'll make
it
'Cause the
real me's exposed
And I'm the
same man I was before
It's a
mystery how I came to be
A secretive
person at all
Now several
locks hide my secret box
From anyone
scaling the wall
Thank you God
the worst part is over
Just when I
thought I'd never find closure
Now I'm naked
I've been
stripped of my clothes
And I'm
ashamed
But I'll make
it
'Cause the
real me's exposed
And I'm the
same man I was before
Oh, oh, look
at me
Oh, I'm as
happy as can be
Because I'm
naked yeah, yeah
I'm naked
yeah, yeah
I'm naked
yeah, yeah
I'm naked
yeah, yeah
I heard a
shriek as I tried to sneak
In through
the back of the church
I would bet they're
not ready yet
For someone
whose history's besmirched
But they'll
learn that I'm not going away
I’ve been burned,
but today is a new day
'Cause I'm
naked
I've been
stripped of my clothes
And I'm
ashamed
But I'll make
it
'Cause the
real me's exposed
And I'm the
same man
Now I'm naked
I've been
stripped of my clothes
And I'm
ashamed
But I'll make
it
'Cause the
real me's exposed
And I'm the
same man I was before
