Pardon my dust,
Excuse the mess
We're makin' something new out of all of this
I'm sayin' my prayers
And I'm tryin' to change
So give me some time
'Cause I'm still findin' my way
Why are you lookin' at me this way
Pointing your finger, shakin' your head
How 'bout some love along the way instead?
Pardon my dust
Excuse this mess
I've left a trail of debris, so you've gotta be
Very careful where you step
I've made some mistakes (so what)
Done quite a few things wrong
But could you roll up your tidy sleeves
And help a brother along
Why are you lookin' at me that way
Pointing your finger, shakin' your head
How 'bout some love along the way instead?
Pardon my dust
Excuse the mess
Please don't be another judge
For me to try to impress
Stop calling me names
Stop casting your stones
Let the Good Lord sort this all out
When we all get home, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
(INSTRUMENTAL)
Pardon my dust
Excuse my mess
And help me believe, there's gonna be
Something beautiful on the other side of this!
Have patience with me
I'm still sweepin' floors
So pardon my dust
And I'll pardon yours
