You always change your colors
when you find yourself in a fix
And when you get yourself
in trouble
You just pack your bags and split
And your off to find a new love
Who doesn't know you
Like some do
Put on a smile like it's make up
Protection from the truth
If they don't have what you need
You won't need them right back
And if they gave you the world
You'd find something wrong with that

[CHORUS]
You better find out which road
Your on
You can't change who you are
By the colors you put on
You better find somebody
To lean on
Make up your mind Chameleon

I need some room to breathe
Listen, speak and follow free
Socially a refugee
I need some room to breathe
They want into my head
I push them out instead
Tear me into tiny pieces
They want into my head

[CHORUS]
Trapped inside this place
I can't move, its like living
In a crawlspace

[BRIDGE]
I try to find myself a way out
But they come from all directions
So, unsure I'll just stay here in
My crawlspace
And I'll escape detection

I don't want to be
I don't want to see
You so happily, hangin' around
A christmas tree
I don't want to know
But I don't want to go
before I start to share
How much I think I really care
I don't want to walk
I don't want to talk
I can't offer you
Anything pretty with a view
I'm not growing up
I'm just getting old
It's so fucking cold
Anywhere even close to you

[CHORUS]
In your mouth, in your mind
In your body from behind
In your heart, in your dreams
Inside of you until you scream
All I wanna do
Is live inside of you

Last night I had a dream
About you
And how you fit in my naked life
Mistakes, I guess I made a few
Here and there and from time to time
yeah, Oh yeah
I know, Lord I dreamed about it
Every detail in every move
I'm sure, there's no doubt about it
I'm trying to break through -
To you
I've tried several other people
Came close a few times but then
It just broke down
I wont lie, I wont kid about it
Merry come 'round and 'round

[BRIDGE]
Hey love, hold me close
Pull me in, don't let go
Faith and love, aren't enough
I should know, give me hope
Let it show
I think you know
How to make me feel high

[CHORUS]
All, all that I want
Is a moment of your precious time
And all, all it would take
Is let me come over to your side
I think you know how
To make me feel high

I don't need love I just need gasoline
A broken line so I can pass the things
That try to slow me down or get in my way
I don't need someone holding on too tight
I'd rather have a warm clear southern nite
Miles of empty road, wind in my face

Give me a life to ride
Leave what I hate behind
Outta sight outta mind
Just give me a life to ride

Now this one wants a brand new picket fence
This one wants his wife to make sense
Neither one remembers ever being free
Now i control my life and destiny
Yes I am the king of everything I see
Never gonna suck my life away
Never gonna be a slave

Give me a life to ride
Leave what I hate behind
Outta sight outta mind
Just give me a life to ride

I used to dream in technicolor
Now it's all gone black and white
I used to have myself a schedule
Now I stay awake all night
I wish I'd seen this coming
But I don't have second sight
I should have found somebody else
Or built a wall around my heart
Spent the money in my wallet
On a ten foot body guard
Maybe then you leaving me
Would not have hit me quite so hard

[BRIDGE]
I wish that I could've turned
This around

[CHORUS]
Been shot down
I'm broken in pieces
All over the ground
Been shot down
I'm totally speechless
Can't make a sound

[BRIDGE 2]
All the kings horses
And all the kings men
Could never get my heart
Together again
Its smashed into pieces
And cast to the wind
I have to sart all over
All over again

I held you for a moment in my hands
The moment with you slipped away like sand
Through my fingers now
In front of me a choice I have to make
To carry on or simply fade away
I lose you either way
I'd like to say that it was easy, it was hard
To say goodbye, I thought that I would die

[Chorus]
Letting go of you, was so hard to
And I thought that it would kill me but I made
It through somehow, and I'm so much stronger now
I gave to you my love and my respect
But I could never make you love me back
I denied it so I grew bitter watching you grow cold
My life became your prison, took it's toll
I decided
Like a bird that's trapped
Inside a gilded cage
It's hard to set it free,
Hurts to watch it
Fly away

We all start out as beautiful as spring
A midnight summers dream
So innocent we look upon ourselves
And we wish the whole world well
In the end we want it all
In the end we take it all
In the end apart it falls
In the end there's nothing
We bear no scar in our conscience
Clean and smooth
We kiss the breast of youth
As our eyesight fades with age
We put on horn-rimmed glasses
And we work our lives away
Buy the pearl
Sell the world

Take everything that I own
My destination's unknown
If I started to yell
Could you even tell
would it do any good
Mr. Misunderstood
I'm not asking for change
I know it sounds strange

[CHORUS]
But it feels kind of good
Feeling this bad
I'm invincible
At my all time low
And it feels good
yeah, feeling this bad

I'm at the end of my rope
I just remembered a joke
Have you heard the one
About the one I've become

I'm alive and you're alive
And don't we both
Deserve to be happy
We realize we're not the same
So no one here should take
away the blame
It's okay to walk away
And live to love another day
This is not a fairytale
This is life
And sometimes life fails

[CHORUS]
Thought I'd let you know
Just before you go
It's alright
Make your brand new start
But keep me in your heart
And you'll be fine
That's reality

As water flows beneath the bridge
We're learning how to forgive
As milk spreads out across the floor
We both agree it's not worth
Fighting for

[BRIDGE]
Nothing's perfect except God
And a California sunset
We're not perfect
It doesn't mean we're bad
There's a place in the sun
For everyone
You just got to find it
I wish you luck with yours
I have to go and find mine

Generation X
We are complex
Angst is the perfect wave
Ride it and be well paid
It all sucks by the way
I wrote a new song today
So upset with all I have
And the world is such a drag
I've become my own cliché

I am an angry young man
I am an angry young man
A.Y.M. An Angry Man

Repeat the past
It's a gas, gas, gas
Make all the same mistakes
That all my heroes made
Pretend that I hate fame
How dare you misspell my name?!
Hurts so bad I have to fix
Apology read by some chick
Another million in the bag

Once we were so close
We were fused belly to belly
And now we
We're standing back to back
It's strange
We should be feuding

Once we were so close
We were joined
Forehead to forehead
Now we live in our own little world
We don't speak the same language

[CHORUS]
Who am i? I am you and I
Who are you? You are me to
Who are we? We are you and me
Who are they?
They don't matter anyway

Once we were so close
We held hands into the evening
Now we drift into a pea soup fog
We're lost
In different directions
Et tu indian giver

I keep talking to myself, but the words
Sound like some one else
I'm ready to bleed all this shit
From my veins
I'm willing to plead for a cure
To the pain
And I am amazed that I'm still
Semi-sane

[CHORUS]
I'm falling down
My world is spinning round
It feels like I'm flying
The feeling is lying
I'm falling down
Falling down

I'm a monster
I'm not well
No mirrors
So I cannot tell
There's a zoo on my back
And a cloud on my soul
Where I once had a heart
There's a bottomless hole
I wish I could get back
An ounce of control

[BRIDGE]
I can't see beauty in anything
I can't tell where I tripped up
Where I fell
I'm a piece of candy cane
Wedged tightly in a drain
Day by day, dissolving away

In between where I've been and
Everywhere I want to be
One piece here and one chip there
I am broken beyond repair
Why should I care

[CHORUS]
Soon you won't be able
To see me at all
If the sun shines down
On me tomorrow
Will it fill me up
Or leave me hollow
Not quite disappearing
Altogether
I'm here but I'm never... Solid

No one comes and no one calls
I might as well
Not be here at all
I crack up, I break down
On a ledge above solid ground
Please talk me down

Your voice is a song
Sweet and long

Your eyes are like pools
Bright and cool
they see through fools

[CHORUS]
I'll never change my point of view
(I wanted you to know the truth)
That everything I'll ever do
I do for you
All for you

Your hands, make me feel
Feel for real
Feel so healed
My love is so true
And my love
Is all for you

Your voice is a song
Sweet and long

So you think my exterior seems
A little out of focus
Because I don't talk in cliches
that people try to use
to stroke us
I don't care too much for
Clicks and gangs and little
sweing circles
If you want a place in this
rat race I say
Run off and join the circus

[CHORUS]
If you look inside my head
You will see things
That you probably shouldn't see
Because my outside is off center
But I gurantee
It's stranger inside me

Have you ever felt like
Pulling your insides out
Cause they're burning
You feel caged
Like an animal that wants to fuck
And you're yearning
For something strange, unexpected
Unexplainable to happen
That either kills you
Leaves you hurt
Or makes it hard to stop
From laughing

My head is floating in the clouds
My feet are in the ocean
My body is earth bound
My mind is an explosion

[CHORUS]
Right on time with that line
I'm a kite up in the sky
I don't want to wonder why
Don't stray to far away
I want to feel like this forever
Vertigo

My soul has caught the perfect wave
My spirit is my lover
I hope it rains for forty days
I will walk across the water

First thing he does
when he climbs out of bed
He searches out a place to
drink his daily bread
He wraps himself up tight
in alcohol
It keeps him warm at night
like grandma's shawl
When he was a child
with everything planned
and his body was clean
Now he sits all alone in
a room with a view
with the brick wall he's run into
Life has a way of leaving
people like him stained

First thing she does
when she goes out at night
She sells a smile to get
what fills her up inside
She brings plenty home
and slowy gets stoned
in a room by herself
Alone in a room with a view
of the brick wall
she's run into
Life has a way of leaving
people like us stained

I fade to black I turn to grey
When ever you have gone away
I can't decide what I should eat
Without you I am incomplete
When you're back I have to say

[CHORUS]
When I'm sick and tired
You make me well
Any little thing
You do I can tell
You make me feel
Like nobody else
Like nobody else

Hold my breath till I turn blue
I try to think of things to do
Try so hard to watch t.v.
It always ends up watching me
Dying to see you

[CHORUS]

Ohh, like nobody else
Nobody else, No-Oh No-Oh
Nobody else

I fade to black I turn to grey
Whenever you have gone away
When you cry it hurts like hell
And if you die I kill myself

[CHORUS]

Yeah, Oh, Yeah
When you make me feel bad
Any little thing on my mind
You do I can tell
You make me feel like...

Nobody else
Like nobody else...
Nobody make me feel like you do
Makes me feel like you do
Makes me feel like you do
Makes me feel...
Yeah, nobody else
Nobody makes me feel
Nobody makes me feel

Leaving the things that you love from mind
All of the things you learned from fears
Nothing is left for the years

Nothing's seen

They say people out in Hollywood
Live their life out in black and white
They're living out a technicolor dream
Next day they're a star overnight

Not like living in New York
Man, it's tougher
Not like in London town
Boy, you suffer

Nobody give a break
When you're down on your luck
Everybody's on the take
When you're down on your luck
You can't make a mistake
When you're down on your luck

People out in Hollywood
They got a lot of class
You see the boys strutting down the boulevard
Trying to make a pass

Not like in New York
It's high rise, it's concrete and complex
Not like in London town
It reigns down on its subjects

Nobody give a damn
When you're down on your luck
Nobody understands
When you're down on your luck
Lady Chance, she won't dance
When you're down on your luck

People out in Hollywood
They can make it to the stars
They can reach the sliver screen
Drive around in big expensive convertible cars

Not like in New York
All you've got is Broadway
Not like in the west end of London
You can't make it no way

Nobody give a damn
When you're down on your luck
Nobody understands
When you're down on your luck
You've got to strut your stuff
When you're down on your luck

You can't take it easy
Being good ain't good enough
When you're down on your luck
Nobody give a fair deal
When you're down on your luck

People out in Hollywood

When I was a kid all I wanted to be
Was the meanest dude on the meanest machine
Now I'm going to wrong way on a one-way street
I never fit this society

I don't really mind
Doing my own time
The three choices I ever came to find
Were:Dead, Jail or Rock'n'Roll
Dead, Jail or Rock'n'Roll
Dead, Jail or Rock'n'Roll
Dead, Jail or Rock'n'Roll

I ain't looking for trouble but it's looking for me
The law of the jungle is protecting me
Lose sleep man stay out of your bed
You might wind up in jail if you lose your head

In death I might find
True peace of mind
But while I'm alive
Free choice is mine
It's either: Dead, Jail or Rock'n'Roll
Dead, Jail or Rock'n'Roll
Dead, Jail or Rock'n'Roll
Dead, Jail or Rock'n'Roll
Dead, Jail or Rock'n'Roll

I don't really mind

Were either:Dead, Jail or Rock'n'Roll

Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you.
She also told me, "Stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch."
Just the other day I heard a soldier falling off some Indonesian junk that's going round.

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Father says, "Your mother's right, she's really up on things."
"Before we married, Mommy served in the WACS in the Philippines."
Now, I had heard the WACS recruited old maids for the war.
But mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years.

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?
Ev'ry time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear?
When I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch.
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out.

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Away.
Away.

I know that it's evil
I know that it's got to be
I know I ain't doing much
Doing nothing means a lot to me
Living on a shoe string
A fifty cent millionaire
Open to charity
Rock 'n' roller welfare

Sitting in my Cadillac
Listening to my radio
Suzy baby get on in
Tell me where you want to go
I'm living in a nightmare
She's looking like a wet dream
I got myself a Cadillac
But I can't afford the gasoline

[CHORUS:]
I've got holes in my shoes
And I'm way overdue
Down payment blues

Get myself a steady job
Some responsibility
Can't even feed my cat
On social security
Hiding from the rent man
Oh it makes me want to cry
Sheriff knocking on my door
Ain't it funny how the time flies

Sitting on my sailing boat
Sipping off my champaign
Suzy baby all at sea (Suzy baby you're obscene)
Say she want to come again
Feeling like a paper cup
(Floating | Blowing) down a storm drain
Got myself a sailing boat
But I can't afford the gasoline (...afford a drop of rain)

One good wash and your outta my hair
You never shoulda' been there in the first place
I fell into a hole in the middle of your world
I got mud all over my face

I'm sorry everything I do is wrong to you and,
But you do everything that you can
To make me feel sub human

I try to speak my mind to you
I can't get a thing across to you

And I'm sorry everything I do is wrong to you and,

She's got an iron will
She's gonna do what she thinks is right
I know she will

And as for me I'm not that silent
It's hard to live in a world this quiet
And if you want me to let you go
Well I think you should know

That I tried hard to live without you
But it doesn't work for me
And I tried not to think about you
But your in all my dreams

I can't stand living on my own
I can't stand staring into space
I hate that everything I see turns into your face

She left an empty house
Without a word, without a sound
Without a shout

And as for me I'm not that silent

Of all my dreams for all these years.
I tried to put my best foot forward.
I Got tangled up in fear.

Still you were waiting all the while
For me
And I can see it's now or never
I will live for you forever.

[Repeat Chorus]

Yeah!...Alright!...
This ordinary life!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

I can see it's now or never
So I will live for you forever
Oh..Oh...

[Repeat Chorus]

Alright!...Okay!...
I'm on my way.
Take me beyond this ordinary life.
With you I pray my heart will stay.
Take me beyond...
Take me beyond...yeah, yeah...

[5x] Take me beyond this ordinary life.
Take me beyond...
Take me...
Take me...Hahahahahaha

Lately all my friends are talking bout me
They see something different bout me
All I ever hear is "man you've changed"
Because I don't act like everyone
I march to the beat of a different drum
They think I'm going through some kind of phase

Now they call me names
I can hear them say

I'm a sellout
I'm a loser
I'm a yes-man
And I guess I'm never gonna live it down
I'm a sellout

I must say that my first inclination
Was to save my reputation
Try to blend right back into the crowd
But the more and more I tried to hide
The less and less I could deny
The truth was screaming at me clear and loud

I gave up the fight
I guess they were right

I'm a sellout
I'm a loser
I'm a yes-man
And I guess I'm never gonna live it down
I'm a sellout

I'm a sellout (sold out for the King)
I'm a loser (more of Jesus less of me)
I'm a yes-man (yes I will do anything He needs)
And I guess I'm never gonna live it down
I'm a sellout

Yeah alright
There's a church on the corner in a harbor town
Where the stained glass lets the sunshine through
When Sunday morning rolls around
The people come to hear about the truth

The choir sings "Amazing Grace"
Then you could hear the Preacher say

Love has no walls
Love needs no space or time
Reach out your heart

One day a hurricane swept through that town
Worst storm you ever did see
Next Sunday morning when no church could be found
The people still gathered out in the street

The choir sang "Amazing Grace"
Then, you could hear the Preacher sayin'

Love has no walls
Love needs no space or time
Reach out your heart
‘Cause love has no walls, yeah
Alright, reach out your heart

There's a church on the corner in a harbor town
They're singing about amazing grace

Love has no walls, alright
Love needs no space or time
Reach out your heart
‘Cause love has no walls, yeah, alright

Love needs no space or time
Reach out your heart
‘cause love has no walls
Yeah, alright
Love needs no space or time
Reach out your heart

Mr. James sits on a park bench
Feeds the pigeons from the crust of his bread
And I come around from time to time
to hear his stories unwind
cause it helps me clear my head

Mr. James says
ten years ago I was rich man
well I had a corporate office
You know that down on 17th and Main
Somewhere along the line
I guess I just lost all track of time
and tried to make myself a name

[Refrain:]
Time goes by
Just like yesterday
used to be tomorrow
Time goes by
Just like yesterday
Just like like Mr. James says

Take these pigeons for example
well they never seem to have
a single worry on their mind
well maybe it's because they know
that the good Lord is watching over everyone of us
'cause you know that's the secret of this life

[Refrain]

Don't worry about tomorrow
Tomorrow will take care of itself
Don't worry about tomorrow
Tomorrow will - take - care of itself

Yeah!

Yesterday I stopped by that old park bench
I fed that Mr. James pigeons from the crust of my bread
Well I watched the world fly by
and I thought all about my life
I remembered what Mr. James said

[Refrain x2]

[Refrain (Background vocals: "Don't worry about tomorrow")]

[Refrain (Background vocals: "Don't worry about tomorrow")]

time goes by
well it's just like yesterday
used to be tomorrrow [Background vocals: "Don't worry about tomorrow"]
time goes by
well it's just like yesterday
just like Mr. James said

How many times can a heart be defeated,
before it decides to give in?
How many times can a soul be mistreated,
before being locked up then?
Some days I wish I could make myself cry,
and I wonder if maybe if this well has run dry
But just when I think my emotions succumbed unto fear

[CHORUS]
That's when You open wide my heart,
I can see it, You open wide my heart,
and I know just the touch of Your hand
lets the healing begins
I see Your river of love rushing in,
when You open wide my heart

You say I stand at the foot of this mountain
pray for the courage to climb
When I am weary lead me to the fountain
that quenches my thirst everytime
Lord you are the water my reason to live
when I feel like I have nothing more left to give
Oh and just when I think I've fallen too far from your grace

[Repeat Chorus]

When I fall down, You lift me up again
Lose my ground, You bring me back again
Lost and found, I feel alive again

[Repeat Chorus]

Here I stand at the foot of this mountain
and pray for the courage to climb

Let’s Go!
Yeeeeeaaahh
Just like David, I’m facing a giant
Just like Jonah, I’m tempted to run
Just like Moses, I’m finding it hard to believe I’m your chosen one
Just like Daniel in the den of the lion, well all I can do now is pray
That you fill me up with your holy power
And give me the courage to say

I’m gonna be strong
And I’m gonna be brave
I’m gonna stand proud in the illuminating light of your grace
And I’m gonna be faithful
I’m gonna be true
I’m gonna press on through the valley as long as it leads me to you
I’m gonna be strong

Just like Peter in the eye of the storm, I’ve come to this moment of truth
I have chosen to step up my faith and believe you will carry me through
You put this piece in my heart and I know that I’ll be alright
You remind me that all things are possible if I just trust you with all of my might

So I’m gonna be strong
I’m gonna be brave
I’m gonna stand proud in the illuminating light of your grace
And I’m gonna be faithful
I’m gonna be true
I’m gonna press on through the valley as long as it leads me to you

Oh you did not give us a spirit of fear
But of power of love and sound mind
You are calling us now to step up our faith and leave all the shadows behind

So I’m gonna be strong
And I’m gonna be brave
I’m gonna stand proud in the illuminating light of your grace
And I’m gonna be faithful
I’m gonna be true
I’m gonna press on through the valley as long as it leads me to you
I’m gonna be strong

I’m gonna be stong, yeah
Yes I’m gonna be strong
I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be strong
Hey, I’m gonna be brave
I’ve gonna be faithful
I’m gonna be true, Oh Oh!
I’m gonna be strong

It was an ordinary morning
At the school upon the hill
The sun was slowly rising
The flag was standing still
And the students were rushing
To face anoter day

But in the middle of the madness
There was one who made her way
She was standing at the flagpole
She bowed her head to pray
She said "I, I will not be afraid."

[CHORUS]
Who will stand, stand together
Heart to heart reaching out for love
Hand in hand with each other
By God's grace, who will stand?

Now everyone was watching
Staring at the girl
Some of them were laughing
And calling her a fool
They said "She, ohh she will stand alone"

But one by one they stepped out
One by one they came
Breaking formt heir silence
With a simple act of faith
They said "We, no we are not ashamed"

[CHORUS]
We will stand, stand together
Heart to heart reaching out for love
Hand in hand with each other
By God's grace, we will stand

[BRIDGE]
And we will stand up for what we believe
We will stand up for our freedom
we wills tand up for one nation under God
With liberty and justice for all!

[CHORUS]

To a world turning cold as stone
To a world spinning out of control
See the sigh of the times
Feel the emptiness inside
To try to hide the pain inside

[CHORUS]
May the love of Jesus fll
the heart of every man
May the hope of heaven touch
a life with healing hands
And may all who seek him find
grace enough to stand
May the love of Jesus fill
the heart of every man

To a soul that's too tired to fight
To a heart that's too weary to try
When all faith is taken away
by the trials of the day
When there's nothing left to say

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
For God so loved the world that
He gave his Son and
Whoever believes will know His love

I take the pieces of my broken heart
I place them in your hands
Cause I need answers, and I need reasons
But only you could understand
Right now I feel like these walls are closing in
And I'd give anything to feel your peace within
If I could reach, reach above the clouds
Higher than the rain could find me
And I would reach, reach beyond the stars
Into a place where love will last forever and beyond
For every trial I am facing it only brings me back to you
Cause I believe in a place called heaven where all my hopes
and all my dreams will come true
And every tear will be a million miles away
But until then I will be dreaming of the day
When I would reach, reach above the clouds
Higher than the rain could find me
And I will reach, reach beyond the stars
Into a place where love will last forever and beyond
I raise my hands and lift my eyes and let your spirit carry me
You lift me up into the sky you give me wings
I will reach, reach above the clouds
Higher than the rain could find me
And I will reach, reach beyond the stars
Into a place where love will last forever
You take me to the place where love will last forever and beyond

Lord Your wonders never cease to amaze me
Cause every time I get down upon my knees I know You hear me
And I've been less than faithful but you've been more than graceful
When anyone else would have walked away
It's just like you to save me
It's just like me to run and hide
It's just like love to take me as I am and make me just like you
Well I could think of a million reasons why I don't deserve your love
And I could try and try and try and try but I could never be good enough
Because I am just a sinner but I am saved by grace
You see the heart in me but you love me anyway
It's just like you to save me
It's just like me to run and hide
It's just like love to take me as I am and make me just like you
Just as I am without one plea but that thy blood was shed for me
You see everything I do and still you choose to love me.

Take a look at the mountains
Stretching a mile high
Take a look at the ocean
Far as your eye can see
And think of Me

Take a look at the desert
Do you feel like a grain of sand?
I am with you wherever
Where you go is where I am

And I'm always thinking of you
Take a look around you
I'm spelling it out one by one

[Chorus]
I love you more than the sun
And the stars that I taught how to shine
You are mine, and you shine for me too
I love you yesterday and today
And tomorrow, I'll say it again and again
I love you more

Just a face in the city
Just a tear on a crowded street
But you are one in a million
And you belong to Me

And I want you to know
That I'm not letting go
Even when you come undone

[Chorus]
I love you more than the sun
And the stars that I taught how to shine
You are mine, and you shine for me too
I love you yesterday and today
And tomorrow, I'll say it again and again
I love you more
I love you more

Shine for Me
Shine for Me
Shine on, shine on
Shine for Me

[Chorus]
I love you more than the sun
And the stars that I taught how to shine
You are mine, and you shine for me too
I love you yesterday and today
And tomorrow, I'll say it again and again
I love you more

[Chorus]
Than the sun
and the stars that I taught how to shine
You are mine, and you shine for me too
I love you, yesterday and today
Through the joy and the pain
I'll say it again and again
I love you more
I love you more

And I see you
And I made you
And I love you more than you can imagine
More than you can fathom
I love you more than the sun
And you shine for me

3 o'clock tripping down the sidewalk
Looking like a fool with a pocket full of questions
I was, living in a worry
Moving in a hurry
In the wrong direction
But then, suddenly it hit me
Doesn't really matter 'cause I got You with me
I think I don' t have to be so down, down, down, down, down

[CHORUS]
I should be happy
I should be happy
I should be living up these days
Just like I know who runs this place
Now that you found me
I should be happy

3:30, got a little dirty
Fear stuck its foot out and I tripped on the same lie
That voice screaming into my head
Pushing me to play dead
Saying, "don't you even try"
But how can I claim to be free
When I carry more chains than the world when they see me?
I don't wanna be the fool who stays down, down, down, down, down

[REPEAT CHORUS]

[Bridge:]
Now I'm not talking 'bout a smile so fake
While the world takes pic-tures 24/7
I just want my failth to be a little more real
What you see is what you get
What you see is how I feel

This rock is tied around my ankle
This thorn is burried in my skin
I wonder why I have to struggle
But then again if I wasn't drowning I wouldn't need you to save me
Oh, and if I wasn't broken I wouldn't need you to heal me
You keep me broken

[Chorus:]
Don't let this river get lost in the ocean
Don't let this rock take me down, down, down
My heart is standing at the edge of the world
I need you to help me make the turnaround

So many puzzles with no answers
So many questions with no peace
So many second guesses, but then again I guess
If I wasn't drowning I wouldn't need you to save me
If I wasn't broken I wouldn't need you to heal me
Oh, Lord I'm drowning

[Chorus:]
Don't let this river get lost in the ocean
Don't let this rock take me down, down, down
My heart is standing at the edge of the world
I need you to help me make the turnaround

Na na na na
na na na na
Help me make the turnaround
na na na na
I need you
I need you
na na na na
Help me make this turnaround

[Bridge:]
I need you
I know I need you

[Chorus:]
Don't let this river get lost in the ocean
Don't let this rock take me down, down, down
My heart is standing at the edge of the world
I need you to help me make the turnaround

Turnaround
Na na na na
Na na na na
Help me make the turnaround
Na na na na
I need you
I need you
Na na na na
I need you
Na na na na
Help me make the turnaround
Na na na na
Na na na na
I'm standing at the edge
Na na na na
I'm standing at the edge
I need you

This world is making me dizzy
I can't seem to keep it from spinning
This life is screaming so loud now
I can't escape from this crowd now
It's like I'm climbing up on the shoulders
In a room full of strangers
And then everybody walks away

[Chorus:]
Fly high, jump and touch the sky
High, bring me back to life
I know you're there when I can't hear you
Down now at the speed of sound now
When I touch the ground now
You'll be there when I can't hear you
When I can't hear you

I am a classic case of dysfunction
I talk and talk and still I say nothing
So tell me, am I the voice of my generation?
Is everybody having the same conversation?
We're all climbing up on the shoulders
In a room full of strangers
When we should be reaching for you

[Chorus:]
Fly high, jump and touch the sky
High, bring me back to life
I know you're there when I can't hear you
Down now at the speed of sound now
When I touch the ground now
You'll be there when I can't hear you
And I can't hear you

[Bridge:]
Do you ever get the feeling that you're not alone
No matter who you are, no matter where you go?
Do you ever get the feeling that you're not alone
No matter who you are, no matter where you go?
Do you ever get the feeling that you're not alone
No matter who you are, no matter where you go?
Do you ever?
Do you ever?

Feel like you're climbing up on the shoulders
In a room full of strangers
We're all reaching

[Chorus:]
Fly high
Sky High
Life I
I can't hear you
Down now at the speed of sound now
When I touch the ground now
Know you're there when I can't hear you
Fly high
Jump to touch the sky high
Bring me back to life
I know you're there when I can't hear you
Down now at the speed of sound now
When I touch the ground now
You'll be there when I can't hear you
When I can't hear you
I can't hear you

I saw your sky fall down today
Suddenly turn from blue to grey
Till one by one the raindrops
Turned to tears upon your face
Wish there was something I could do
Wish I could ease this pain for you
But I've never felt so helpless
It's like you're drowning right in front of me
And I'm reaching out but you can't see
There's something holding on to you so tight
So I guess this is all I'll say to you tonight

[Chorus]
If you ever need me
You know where to find me
I will be waiting where I've always been
If you ever need me
You know where to find me
I have never left you, I'm where I've always been
Right by your side
Right by your side

If the whole wide world is on your back
If the strength you need is the strength you lack
If you're in a crowd but all alone
If you can't stay here but you can't go home
If you can't answer all the why's
'cause you're too tired to reach that high
I want you to remember

[Repeat Chorus]

Well it was raining when I woke up this morning
So, to escape it I went back to bed
But then the rain started leaking through the ceiling
And pretty soon it was pouring on my head
Sometimes it follows you home
Like an old stray dog, it won't leave you alone

[Chorus:]
It's not the end
The end of the world
It's just another day depending on grace
It's not the end
The end of the world
It's just another day, don't sleep it all away

So I jumped into my car and hit the freeway
Found a sunny spot so I could work on my tan
But just as soon as I stepped one foot in the ocean
From out of nowhere it came pouring down again
Sometimes it rains all over your parade
It's like you're reaching for the sun, and you're landing in the shade

[Chorus:]
It's not the end
The end of the world
It's just another day depending on grace
It's not the end
The end of the world
It's just another day, don't sleep it all away

[Bridge:]
Well, the moral of the story is
Sometimes life takes so much more than it gives
But the one who makes the air I breathe
Is the one who'll fix the ceiling when it starts to leak
It may look like the end but it's only the beginning

[Chorus:]
It's not the end of the world
It's just another day depending on grace
It's not the end
The end of the world
It's just another day, don't sleep it all away

Cause It's not the end
It's not the end of the world
It's just another day
It's not the end
It's not the end of the world,
No, it's not the end
It's not the end
Still not the end
It's not the end
I bet you're wondering when this song's gonna end
But it's not the end
Cause I'm singing this song and I get to decide when it's the end
And it's not the end
Well it's almost the end
I guess you could say it's nearing the end
But it's not the end
It's not the end
It's not the end
It's almost the end
Ok I think it's the end

There you go changing my plans again
There you go shifting my sands again
For reasons I don't understand again
Lately I don't have a clue
Just when I start liking what I see
There you go changing my scenery
I never know where you're taking me
But I'm trying just to follow you

[Chorus:]
It's out of my hands
It's out of my reach
It's over my head
And it's out of my league
There's too many things
That I don't understand
So it's into your will
And it's out of my hands

There you go healing these scars again
Showing me right where you are again
I'm helpless, and thats where I start again
I'm giving it all up to you

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Move me, make me
Choose me, change me
Send me, shake me
Find me, remind me
The past is behind me
Take it all away
Take it all from me, I pray

Everybody's going out tonight
All your friends are feeling it
Whatever it is that makes you feel all right
Everybody knows that anything goes
And everything you want is just across the line
Step into the flow, go all the way tonight

[Chorus:]
Don't believe the lie
Don't buy in to what they sell you
It'll only make you cry
I've been there and I'm here to tell you
What you got inside your soul
Deep down you know
The truth won't hide
Don't believe the lie
Don't believe the lie

Oh here comes the morning sun
It's shining down over what you've done
And all you feel is empty
And you don't know why it felt like so much fun
Here comes that voice again, it's acting like your friend
With a whisper in your ear
"You fell too far this time"

Don't believe the lie
Don't buy in to what they sell you

Oh, but you don't have to let it take your joy anymore

Oh now, you were made for so much more than this
You were made for so much more than this
I promise this
I promise this
You were made for so much more
So don't give in
No don't give in
When you stand your ground you won't stand alone

[Chorus:]
Don't believe the lie
Don't buy in to what they sell you
It'll only make you cry
I've been there and I'm here to tell you
What you got inside your soul
Deep down you know
The truth won't hide
So don't believe the lie
Oh no no no no no no
Don't believe the lie

You were made for so much more than this
You were made for so much more than this
I promise this
I promise this
You were made for so much more

I don't know what I would do without you
But I don't wanna think about that now
I can't imagine how I lived without you
Oh, but I don't have to think about that now
'Cause you're here, and I'm right here with you
And the world as I see it is suddenly changing

[Chorus:]
I don't wanna let this moment fade away
I wanna soak up every single second in your presence
I just wanna fall in love along the way
I wanna soak up every single second in your presence

I don't like the way I was before you
But I don't wanna think about that now
So, here I lay my yesterday before you
Oh, and I don't have to think about that now
'Cause you're here, and I'm right here with you
And the world as I see it is suddenly changing

I don't wanna let this moment fade away
I wanna soak up every single second in your presence
I just wanna fall in love along the way
I wanna soak up every single second in your presence
Yeah

Oh, now every second matters
Now every second counts
And every day is one more day, Lord, that I can't live without
Without you

Oh, I just wanna fall in love along the way
I wanna soak up every single second in your presence
No, I don't wanna let this moment fade away
I wanna soak up every single second in your presence
I just wanna fall in love along the way
I wanna soak up every single second in your presence

Now every second matters
Now every second matters
Now every second matters
Now every second counts

I just wanna stay
Where you are
I just wanna live
Where you are
And I don't want to leave
Where you are

The king of contradiction strikes again
You said the last to cross the finish line will win
And the beggers will be millionares someday
And the humble ones are gonna have their say
Well all my friends are gone now
And all my money's gone now
And all my pride is gone now
And if what you say is true now

This will be my finest hour
This will be my finest hour

Well everything is opposite down here
The strong surive and the rest just disappear
But your philosophy is more unique
You say I'll be stronger when I'm weak

This will be my finest hour
This will be my finest hour

It's 2am and sleepless
I'm wide awake and restless
I don't know what my deal is
I've never felt so helpless
I don't understand it
I don't think I'll ever comprehend it
It's so hard to concieve it
So, I guess I'll just believe it

This will be my finest hour
This will be my finest hour

I've been catching up on daydreams
Yeah, I've been lost all afternoon
'Cause I've been imagining a future
In a world of only You
In a world of only You

[Chorus:]
When the curtain falls down on me
I will be free, I will be free
When the curtain falls down on me
I believe I will be free, free

See, I get so stuck here in the shadows
Where it's hard to escape this gravity
This life is heavy now but I know, yes I know
That someday gravity's gonna lose it's grip on me

[Second Chorus:]
When the curtain falls down on me
I will be free, I will be free
When the curtain falls down on me
See I beleive I will be free
Free to fly away
I'm free to fly away

[Bridge:]
The show's not over, but I know how it ends
I know how it ends
When this dream becomes reality
It's no mystery where I will be

When the curtain falls down on me
I will be free, I will be free
When the curtain falls down on me
I will be free
I will be free
I will be free
When the curtain falls down on me
I believe I will be free
Free to fly away
I'm free to fly away
Free to fly away
Free to fly away

Oh, wow, look at me now
Leaving the ground
Up in the cloud
So high
Up in the sky
It's time to fly away
Fly away
I'm free to fly high away
I'm free to fly

West It's been a bad day
You've been looking back
And all you can see is everything you wish you could take back
All your mistakes
A world of regrets
All of those moments you would rather forget
I know it's hard to believe Let me refresh your memory

[CHORUS]
Yesterday is history And history is miles away
So, leave it all behind you
But let it always remind you of the day
The day that love made history

You know you can't stay right where you fell
The hardest part is forgiving yourself
But let's take a walk into today
And don't let your past get in the way

Would you believe that you are history in the making, in the making?
Every choice that you are making
Every step that you are taking
Every chain that you are breaking
History is in the making
Every word that you are saying
Every prayer that you are praying
Every chain that you are breaking
History is in the making
History is in the making
History is in the making

I remember when I was thirteen
I saw a picture on my T.V. screen
The Reverend Billy Graham and the people singing "Just As I Am"
And it felt like You were talking to me
And the whole world seemed to fade away
Until I heard my mother say "Son, are you okay? Do you wanna pray?"
And that became the hour I first believed

[CHORUS]
Next thing you know I'm high and flyin'
Next thing you know
My heart is in your hands
Next thing you know
There's no denyin'
Next thing you know I'm a brand new man

Well, I wish I could say I always stayed right there
And I did until my freshman year
But the world was pulling me a long way from thirteen
And you were calling but I didn't hear
Still I knew there was something more S
o, one day my knees hit the dorm room floor
I said, "If you're there, and if you really care,
Come and talk to me like I was thirteen."

Got a picture in my head today of how heaven might look someday
I see the people there, so I pull up a chair
And their stories, they blow me away
'Cause I can see it on every face
The evidence of grace
And as I listen it occurs to me
Everybody's got their own thirteen

So, what's your story about His glory?
You gotta find your place in the history of grace
Yeah, what's your story about His glory?
Come on and find your place

There is no guilt here
There is no shame
No pointing fingers
There is no blame
What happened yesterday has disappeared
The dirt has washed away And now it's clear

[CHORUS]
There's only grace
There's only love
There's only mercy
And believe me it's enough
Your sins are gone
Without a trace
There's nothing left now
There's only grace

You're starting over now
Under the sun
You're stepping forward now
A new life has begun
Your new life has begun

And if you should fall again
Get back up, get back up
Reach out and take my hand
Get back up, get back up
Get back up again

I just can't take it anymore
Your tricks have fooled me for the last time
You know I've had it up to here
With the way you bring me down, down
You're wreaking havoc on my world
You're calling question to my sanity
But I'm not gonna let you get the best of me
Not anymore, anymore
So here I go, watch me run
A million miles under the sun
That's what I'll do if that's what it takes
To get away

[CHORUS]
I gotta get away
I gotta get away
I gotta get away
I gotta get away

You try to steal away our kids
You try to tear apart our families
You bring your lies into our towns
And watch our morals tumble down
We are a city on the edge
We are a world that needs a remedy
But we're still the nation under God
And it's time we take a stand

We gotta get away
We gotta get away
We gotta get away
We gotta get away

Give us your strength to run from evil
Lord, lead the way
Lead us into a better day
Give us hope
Give us faith
Help us, oh Lord, to get away
Hear our cry everyday
Help us, oh Lord, to get away
Here I go
Watch me run
A million miles under the sun
That's what I'll do
If that's what it takes to get away

My friend Taylor she's an angel
Ten years old and beautiful
She's a living, breathing miracle
And she proves it everyday
'Cause the odds were stacked against her from the day that she arrived here
And the doctors told her mom and dad she'd always be that way
And I confess when I first met her
I was thinking life's not fair
But then she wrapped her arms around my neck
And it all became so clear

God bless the last ones

One day Taylor sent me a picture from her Special Olympics race
And I could tell just by the looks of it she was coming in last place
But she crossed that finish line with a smile upon her face as if to say

God bless the last ones

Maybe the last ones are the lucky ones
The ones who got this whole thing figured out
'Cause when they go looking for something beautiful
They start looking from the inside out

On our way into the restaurant we passed a homeless man
He was half drunk and half asleep with a paper cup in his hand
And I confess when I first saw him I was thinking life's not fair
But then Taylor reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck
And it all became so clear

God bless the last ones

I wish we could all be the lucky ones
The ones who've got this whole thing figured out
Maybe the next time we go looking for beautiful we'll try looking from the inside out

God bless the last ones

I had all but given up on finding the one that I could fall into
On the day before you I was ready to settle for less than love and not much more
There was no such thing as a dream come true
But that was on the day before you

[CHORUS]
Now you're here and everything's changing
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow and find out this promise is true
I will never have to go back to the day before you

In your eyes I see forever and it makes me wish that my life never knew the day before you
Oh, but heaven knows those years without you were shaping my heart for the day that I found you
And if you're the reason for all I've been through then I'm thankful for the day before you

It was the last day that I ever lived alone
And I'm never going back
No, I'm never going back

I think I'm over-thinking this whole thing about believing in something I cannot see
'Cause when I think about it I think there's no doubt about it
I do it every single day
It's just like the air
No one knows where it comes or where it goes
But when I breathe in I believe again and again

[CHORUS]
So, if the whole wide world says
You're not there
Well, I still know
You're there
And even if they call me crazy, I don't care
I still know You're there
And if they say there's no such thing as heaven or a God who waits for me
I just point to the air
And I know You're there

I had a science teacher
Who tried to make me a believer
That evolution made the earth
But I can't give a big bang credit for this whole thing
Life is too beautiful for that to be true
It's just like a child
A new born baby, there are no two the same tiny toes, finger prints
And with that thought I rest my case

When a nation cries
When a loved one dies
When we wonder why
I still know you're there
When the nights are long
In a world gone wrong
There's still a feeling so strong
That tells me you're there
You're so undeniable
You're so unconfinable
And your love is so reliable
And it tells me you're there

I tried money
I got as much as I could and I went to the store
And I bought it all
But it wasn't enough 'cause I wanted some more
But my house was full
So I bought a bigger house and filled it up
And there I was with all that stuff
And empty

[CHORUS]
Nothing else can take the place of You
Nothing else can take the place of You

Still I try friendship
I called everyone I knew
And invited them over for a party
They ate all the free food
And they told me how much they loved me
But when the food was gone
My friends were gone
And there I was all alone
And empty

So take the place
The place of You
And fill this space
The way You do
I'm tired of searching
Those days are through
So take the place
It's made for You
Not friends or money or alcohol
None of these things, believe me
You can try them all
Not status
Not success
I know none of these things will ever bring true happiness

Give me one million problems and I promise
I'll worry about them all
Give me twenty-four hours and I promise
I'll fill them up with all the things that are so small
But something tells me You made me for so much more

[CHORUS]
I'm holding all of my life up to the light
The light of eternity I know what I should let go
I see what matters most in the light of eternity
I want You to see me shine in the light of eternity

This is one of those moments when
I'm weighing all my days up to right here and right now
Am I doing anything that will last?
And if I'm not, then I just have to ask
Please show me how
'Cause I know You made me for so much more

A new illumination changes everything, changes everything
And now my motivation is eternity with You
Give me twenty-four hours and
I promise I'm gonna give 'em all back to You

This might hurt, it's not safe
But I know that I've gotta make a change
I don't care if I break
At least I'll be feeling something

‘Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
Without Your all consuming passion inside of me

I don't wanna spend my whole life asking
What if I had given everything
Instead of going through the motions?

No regrets, not this time
I'm gonna let my heart defeat my mind
Let Your love make me whole
I think I'm finally feeling something

‘Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of this life

‘Cause I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
Without your all consuming passion inside of me

I don't wanna spend my whole life asking
What if I had given everything
Instead of going through the motions?

Take me all the way
(Take me all the way)
Take me all the way
(‘Cause I don't wanna go through the motions)

Take me all the way
(Lord, I'm finally feeling something real)
Take me all the way

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
Without Your all consuming passion inside of me

I don't wanna spend my whole life asking
What if I had given everything
Instead of going through the motions?

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
Without Your all consuming passion inside of me

I don't wanna spend my whole life asking
What if I had given everything
Instead of going through the motions?
Take me all the way
(Take me all the way)
Take me all the way
(I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go)

Take me all the way
(Through the motions)
Take me all the way

I don't wanna go through the motions

So, you're hungry for a taste of the other side
Where the grass is thick and green
But your feet are on familiar ground
Frozen and afraid of what you might lack
Oh, if that's all that's holding you back

[CHORUS]
Come on, step out of time
Fall out of line
Leave a mark they can't erase
Find your heart and lose your mind
Watch the journey unwind
And let it be a new day
Out of time

How's your story gonna read
When they call your name
And it's all there in black and white?
Will you follow?
Or will you lead?
Will you quietly disappear
Or is this whole world gonna know
That you were here?

It's time to be free
It's time just to live what you believe
What you gonna do with the life you're living?
What you gonna make of the time you're given?
When you are free, you have been forgiven
Now come on and step out of time

Once you go you're gone forever
Don't you know it's now or never
But I can feel a change in weather
Now come on and step out of time

There is a longing deep inside my soul
There is a place my spirit wants to go
It's far away from all these chains that bind
There is a world I long to leave behind

So, I wait and I wait
I wait for the moment when You come for me
And resue my heart from the pain that it's seen
Troubles are circling all around me
And I can't stop thinking

[chorus:]
Just a few more days I'll be going home
Just a few more hours and I'll be flying
It could be any minute now
That You take me away
Or maybe just a few more days
A few more days

To you a day is like thousand years
And only you know when the clouds will clear
So, let me not forget and fall away
Because a thousand years could be today

So, I'll wait and I wait
I wait for the moment when You come for me
And resue my heart from the pain that it's seen
My troubles are circling all around me
I've to remember

To you a day is like a thousand years
And only You know when the clouds will clear
So, let me not forget and fall away
Becasue a thousand years could be today

I am the one with two left feet
Standing on a lonely street
I can't even walk a straight line
And every time you look at me
I'm spinning like an autumn leaf
Bound to hit bottom sometime

Where would I be without someone to save me
Someone who won't let me fall

You are everything that I live for
Everything that I can't believe is happening
You're standing right in front of me
With arms wide open
All I know is
Every day is filled with hope
'Cause You are everything that I believe for
And I can't help but breathe you in
Breathe again
Feeling all this life within
Every single beat of my heart

I am the one with big mistakes
Big regrets and bigger breaks
Than I ever care to confess
Oh but, You're the one who looks at me
And sees what I was meant to be
More than just a beautiful mess

Oh, where would I be without someone to save me
Someone who won't let me fall

You are everything that I live for
Everything that I can't believe is happening
You're standing right in front of me
With arms wide open
All I know is
Every day is filled with hope
'Cause You are everything that I believe for
And I can't help but breathe you in
Breathe again

Feeling all this life within
Every single beat of my heart
You're everything good in my life
Everything honest and true
And all of those stars hanging up in the sky
Could never shine brighter than

You

are everything that I live for
Everything that I can't believe is happening
You're standing right in front of me
With arms wide open
All I know is
Every day is filled with hope
You are everything that I believe for
And I can't help but breathe you in
Breathe again
Feeling all this life within
Every single beat of my heart
You are
Oh, You are

I wanna know

I got a feeling as a matter of fact
It's like my whole world just came under attack
And I hear can a voice tellin' me to turn back
'Cause I must be onto somethin'

It happens every single time I get close to
Everything I know is good and right and so true
It's like somebody doesn't want me to love You
And I must be onto somethin'

So help me hold on
Help me be strong
'Cause I don't wanna move
Unless You move me

I wanna know how it feels to be
Standing in the center of Your will for me
I wanna know what surrender means
Keep me in the center of Your will for me
Keep me in the center

God forbid, I start to think I'm on a roll now
'Cause I do believe there is a battle for my soul now
And I can feel the world fighting for control now
I must be onto somethin'

So help me hold on just a little bit longer
'Cause all the struggles gonna do is make me stronger
This is the everyday prayer of my heart
I just wanna stay where You are

I wanna know how it feels to be
Standing in the center of Your will for me
I wanna know what surrender means
Keep me in the center of Your will for me

Lord, help me hold on
Help me be strong
'Cause I don't wanna move
Unless You move me, yeah, yeah

Standing in the center of Your will for me
I wanna know what surrender means
Keep me in the center of Your will for, will for me

Don't be mad if I cry
It just hurts so bad sometimes
'Cause everyday it's sinking in
And I have to say goodbye all over again

You know I bet it feels good
To have the weight of this world
Off Your shoulders now
I'm dreaming of the day
When I'm finally there with You

Save a place for me, save a place for me
I'll be there soon, I'll be there soon
Save a place for me, save some grace for me
I'll be there soon, I'll be there soon

I have asked the questions why
But I guess the answer's for another time
So instead I'll pray with every tear
And be thankful for the time I had You here

So You just save a place for me, save a place for me
I'll be there soon, I'll be there soon
Save a place for me, save some grace for me
I'll be there soon, I'll be there

I wanna live my life just like You did
And make the most of my time just like You did
And I wanna make my home up in the sky
Just like You did, oh, but until I get there
Until I get there

Just save a place for me, save a place for me
'Cause I will be there soon

Save a place for me, save a place for me

I know a girl who's growing up too fast,
She's stuck between her future and her past,
'Cause she's just a baby, but the doctors say,
she's got a baby on the way!

And now the devastation makes her start to cry,
how could this be happening she wonders why,
but they're talking options,
like it's just another day,
and the choice is hers to make.

There's a life inside you.
There's a beating heart.
There's a child of wonder,
shining like a star.
There's a life inside you.

I know a boy who's all caught up,
in his addictions and they're tearing him up.
And now he's hearing voices
telling him it's time to let go.
But if I could talk to that boy,
I would die for him to know

There's a life inside you.
There's a beating heart.
There's a child of wonder,
shining like a star.
There's a life inside you.

We all arrive here in this place,
Imperfect people in need of grace.
But that's why god sent his only son to die,
So that every broken heart could have a life inside.
So, just open up your broken heart

There's a life inside you.
There's a beating heart.
There's a child of wonder,
shining like a star.
There's a life inside you.

Can't believe you're here now
Tiny dream come true
The answer to a prayer now
I'm so in love with you

Couldn't wait to meet you
Hope you like your name
I get the funny feeling
Life will never be the same

Safe & sound
You're here with me now
Like I hoped you'd be

Safe & sound
You're here with me now
And that's all I'll ever need

The world's a scary place here
But baby, it's alright
I'll make sure the coast is clear
So you can just sleep tight

But if you're afraid of monsters
Like everybody is
I'll be right beside you
Closer than a kiss

Safe & sound
I'm here with you now
And you will always be

Safe & sound
I'm here with you now
And that's all you'll ever need

Someday I'm gonna teach you
The reason why we pray
So that Heaven's love may reach you
Every single day

So baby, close your eyes now
And say a prayer with me
Lord, I lay me down to sleep now
But I know I will be

Safe & sound
You're here with us now
And we will always be

Safe & sound

And that's all we'll ever, all we'll ever need

You got your hand on the door
And you're ready just to walk out
Well, the fight that you had
Filled your mind up with all this doubt

And you're losing your mind
And you're losing your faith
And you can't remember why you fell in love
In the first place

Go back, go back
To the moment of truth
When she walked down the aisle
And you first said 'I do'

And when this life makes you wonder
What have you got to lose
Go back, go back
To the moment of truth

You got your hand on a habit
And you can't seem to let it go
It used to be your escape
Now it's out of control

And now it's you in the mirror
But you don't recognize your face
And you're looking for a reason
Not to throw it all away

Just go back, go back
To the moment of truth
With three words 'it's a girl'
And she looks just like you

And when this life makes you wonder
What have you got to lose
Go back, just go back
To the moment of truth

You got your hand on the Bible
But your heart feels like stone
'Cause you think that you've made
Too many mistakes to come home

And you're losing your will
And you're losing your faith
And now you wonder
If you even believed in the first place

Just go back
To the moment of truth
When you first talked to Jesus
And He reached out for you

He's still reaching
He's still reaching out for you
So when this life makes you wonder
What have you got to lose?

Just go back, just go back
To the moment of truth
Just go back, go back
To the moment of truth
Just go back

She always said the world was overrated
And she couldn't take the drama it created
It's a wonder that she didn't wind up jaded
From all the times she's been let down

Well, Mum and Dad split up when she was four years old
And left the world as she knew it spinning out of control
And she grew up feeling a hole in her soul
'cause they were never around

She said, "why's everybody always leaving?
I just want someone to believe in
And someone to believe in me”

When you can't find a friend in the world
A friend in the world
Love is reaching down
When you can't find a friend in the world
A friend in the world
You got one now

I grew up in the glass house of a preacher
Where every move I ever made was a feature
And when you don't always do what they teach you
They always point you out

But it's just like TobyMac used to say,
"Some people gotta learn the hard way"
And when I couldn't outrun all the things I'd done
I picked up the phone and my dad said, "son"

When you can't find a friend in the world
A friend in the world
Love is reaching down
When you can't find a friend in the world
A friend in the world
You got one now

This is where the story gets crazy.
And this is the part that's so amazing.
You see, the girl I sang about in the first verse,
Became my wife

And there's one last thing I'd like to mention,
We owe it all to the Author of redemption!
Because He reached her life and He reached my life -
And He's reaching out now take a look around

When you can't find a friend in the world
A friend in the world
Love is reaching down
When you can't find a friend in the world
A friend in the world
You got one now

From all the weight of your mistake?
You never knew how much it cost
Feels like your innocence is lost

So much for the perfect life
So much for the perfect day
It's like no matter how you try
Perfection's just too far away

All the broken pieces of your life

Did you hear what I said?
Did you read the words I wrote down in red?
I was broken once for you
And no one loves you like I do

And that's the beauty of this grace
It can put the pieces back in place
And shine reflections of forgiveness
In a million different ways

So lift them up to Me
All the broken pieces
All the broken pieces of your life

All the broken pieces of your life

Every scar, every tear, every break
And I can turn it into something
More beautiful than you have ever seen

Let Me carry you
I will take your pieces
And put them back together

Album : Something To Say

The T.V. is talking
The telephone's ringing
The lights are all on and the radio's screaming
A million distractions are stealing my heart from You

I'm tired and empty
This life is relentless
It weakens my knees and it breaks my defenses
It's wearing me down and I'm desperate to hear from You

Stop the world, I wanna get out
I need an escape away from this crowd
Just to hear You speak to me

I need to be still before I make a move
And I need to be humble with nothing to prove
And I need Your Word to show me the truth
I need time, precious time

Stop the world, I wanna get out
I need an escape away from this crowd
Just to hear You speak to me

Stop the world, I'm ready to listen
Show me a sign, just give me a vision of Heaven
That I can hold on to
Stop the world, I need some time with You

Before I can find my voice
I need to hear Your voice
Above all the senseless noise

Stop the world, I wanna get out
I need an escape away from this crowd
Just to hear You, I need to hear You, Lord

Stop the world, I'm ready to listen
Show me a sign, give me a vision of Heaven
That I can hold on to
Stop the world, I need some time with You
Stop the world, I need some time with You

Album : The Story Of Your Life

Is this the end?
Or only the beginning?
The second chance
You never thought you'd get

The question is
Will you do something with it
Or spend your days
Lost in your regreat

This is the story of your life
You decide
How the rest is gonna read
This is your chance between the lines
To redefine what kind of legacy you leave
This is the story of your life
And it's a story worth telling

Breathe in deep
Feel your heart still breathing
Let's go see the reason you're alive
Oh, you are here
and love is up to something
So take your fear
and leave it all behind

This is the story of your life
You decide
How the rest is gonna read
This is your chance between the lines
To redefine what kind of legacy you leave
This is the story of your life
And it's a story worth telling

This is the joy
And it's the pain
And all the pages in between
Your finest hour
Your weakest moment
It where you've been
It's where you are
It's where you're going

This is the story of your life
You decide
How the rest is gonna read
This is your chance between the lines
To redefine the kind of legacy you leave
This is the story of your life
Go tell the story of your life
Cause it's a story worth telling
It's worth telling

Is this the end?
Or only the beginning?
